This is one possible course sequence for students entering UMass Lowell in or after September 2011 and taking MATH.1310 Calculus I. A possible sequence for students taking MATH.1280 Calculus IA and MATH.1290 Calculus IB is shown in an alternate grid. Students pursing or considering the Co-Op Option should consult the CS Co-Op grid for a possible sequence that includes the courses and experiences required for that option. All students should refer to the definitions and notes on specific course categories and sequences below the grid.

Note: Students may substitute MATH.128 Calculus IA and MATH.129 Calculus IB (totaling 8 credits)
for MATH.131 Calculus I (4 credits). However, only 4 of those 8 credits
may be applied to the CS major.
Therefore, students who take Calculus IA and IB instead of Calculus I graduate with 124 credits.
