Students who have received a 5 on the CS AP exam may take CSCI0190 in place of both CSCI0150 and CSCI0160 (or CSCI0170 and CSCI0180). Students with truly exceptional backgrounds may choose to skip the introductory courses and start with CS0310. However, this does not reduce the number of courses such students must complete for their concentration requirements. Two intermediate or advanced CS or related course that are (1) approved by the concentration advisor and (2) not being used to satisfy other requirements must be taken in place of the skipped introductory courses.
