    Science computer courses

14
Computer Information StysemsJC Transferable
Courses

  • A3 Critical Thinking
  • A4 Mathematics (Math 120, Analytical Geom Calc
    I)

17
Lower-Division GE Area BScience

  • B2 Life Forms

18
Lower-Division GE Area CArts and Humanities
  • HIST-130 U.S. History
  • Select any two of the following three areas
  • Area C1 Arts
  • Area C2 Languages and Literature
  • Area C3 Philosophy, Religion, and Humanities

  • Select any two of the following three areas
  • Area D1 Individual and Society
  • Area D2 Political and Economic Institutions
  • Area D3 Cultural and Social Institutions

20
Lower-Division GE Area E
  • Area E Lifelong Learning

21
Ethnic and Non-Western Requirements
  • Certain Area C, D, and E courses are labeled
    with
  • Eth Indicating the course is an ethnic course
  • NW Indicating the course is a non-western
    course
  • When you are satisfying your area C, D, and E
    requirements be sure to select one ethnic course
    and one non-western course
  • You may be able to satisfy ethnic and non-western
    requirements in the upper-division GE, but this
    is very difficult for CSCI/CINS majors

22
Upper-Division GE
  • Theme A American Identities and Cultures
  • Theme B Contemporary Health Issues
  • Theme C Cross-Cultural Exploration
  • Theme D Environmental Issues
  • Theme E Ethics and Social Policy
  • Theme F Gender Perspectives
  • Theme G Global Issues
  • Theme H Honors
  • Theme I Mexico and Central America
  • Theme J Minds, Brains, and Machines
  • Theme M Science, Technology, and Society
    CSCI Theme
  • Theme N War and Peace in the Nuclear Age
  • Theme O Womens Issues
  • Theme Q International Studies Abroad London,
    Italy, France, Spain
  • Theme R Global Music, Culture, and Technology
  • Theme S Wealth, Power, and Inequality
  • Theme T The Child
  • Theme U Catastrophe and Humanity

23
Theme Selection
  • CINS and APCG majors can select any theme
  • CSCI options should select Theme M because
  • CSCI-301, Computers Impact on Society is
    required for the major and can be double counted
    as one of the Theme M and Theme J courses
  • Accreditation requires that you take one more
    natural science course than the courses already
    in the program. Students normally take that
    additional course in their upper-division GE.
    Most themes do not have an acceptable natural
    science course but Theme M does.
