Students are expected to complete most of these program-specific required foundation courses before entering the C.S. program. However, it is possible to be enrolled in the B.S. program and taking a few of the foundation courses at the surrounding community colleges at the same time..

UHCL has general lower level course requirements. A list of all required lower level courses can be found in the 2+2 plan for the CS program.
