Description
Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Computer Science A exam earn one unit of credit for CSCI 131 Techniques of Programming and are encouraged to consider enrolling in CSCI 132 Data Structures . Students with AP Computer Science A credit will forfeit their AP credit if they opt to take CSCI 131 Techniques of Programming , CSCI 110 Survey of Computer Science or STAT 199-F01 Introduction to Programming in Python . AP Computer Science A counts as an elective for the mathematics major. A score of 4 or 5 on the AP Computer Science Principles exam will earn one unit of credit for CSCI 110 Survey of Computer Science . This course does not count towards fulfilling the requirements of the mathematics major. Regardless of score, all students who have taken AP Computer Science Principles are encouraged to take CSCI 131 Techniques of Programming . Students will forfeit their AP credit if they opt to take CSCI 110 Survey of Computer Science . A score of 4 or 5 on either AP Computer Science exam fulfills the mathematical science common area requirement.
