Computer science (CS) major is offered jointly with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Students take courses at Rutgers under the 21:198 prefix. They may register at Rutgers for courses at NJIT through cross-registration under the 28:198 and 28:548 prefixes. The school code 28 identifies a course offered at NJIT, while 198 is Computer Science at NJIT, and 548 is Information Systems at NJIT. Students should consult the registrar's website for specific cross registration instructions for these courses.
The CS major is intended for those students who wish to concentrate on the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. It requires additional courses in mathematics and advanced computer science. Note: Students may not major in both computer science and information systems (no longer offered), and may not minor in computer science and major in information systems (no longer offered).
Prerequisites for all courses given by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science must be passed with a C or better.
