Notes 

  • The AA/AS degree fulfills CMCI Core requirements with the exception of CMCI 2030, CMCI Core Computing, and CMCI Core Diversity. CMCI 2030 is a required CMCI-specific course and not offered outside of CMCI. CMCI Core Computing &  CMCI Core Diversity could be satisfied, only if an equivalent course is completed. CSC 1019 or 1060 completes the Computing requirement. COM 2300 or 2270 completes the CMCI Diversity requirement. 

  • CMCI requires third-level proficiency in a world language. All students are required to demonstrate third-level proficiency in a single non-English modern or classical language. Students may meet this requirement by:

    • Completing a Level III course (typically the third of three consecutive years) in a single non-English language while in high school.
    • Graduating from a high school that uses a non-English language as its principal mode of instruction, or receiving, in high school, a state-sponsored seal of biliteracy.
    • Passing an appropriate third-semester college course that is part of a three-course sequence of at least 12 semester credit hours, or earning AP or IB credit equivalent to such a course.
    • Passing a 精品SM在线影片-approved proficiency examination.
  • 鈥&苍产蝉辫;Computing: CSC courses may require more intensive programming than the options available at CU.
