This is one possible course sequence for students entering UMass Lowell in or after September 2011, taking MATH.2310 Calculus I, and pursuing the 3-month Summer Co-Op Option. Courses required for the Co-Op Option are highlighted with yellow backgrounds. Computer Science co-op students may elect to do two 3-month full time co-ops during the summer, two 6-month full time co-ops by taking semesters off during their academic career, or a combination of these two. For further information on the Computer Science Co-op Program, please contact the UMass Lowell Career & Co-op Center. All students should refer to the definitions and notes on specific course categories and sequences below the grid.

Note: Students who complete
all three 1-credit co-op
courses (SCIE.2100, SCIE.3100, and SCIE.4100) are not
required to take ENGL.2200 Oral and Written Communication
for CS Majors. However, if only one or two of
these co-op courses are taken, ENGL.220 is still required.
The extra credits are counted as free electives.
Note: Students may substitute MATH.1280 Calculus IA
and MATH.1290 Calculus IB (totaling 8 credits)
for MATH.1310 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.
