8. What you need to get in—and to continue... To get into the pre-major At least 4 pre-major courses (see list below) Two must be CS 3.0 average in all pre-major courses taken To get into the full-major All pre-major courses must be taken 2.75 in all pre-major courses taken There are no exceptions to these numbers 2.749 will not get you in. What courses count: BS in CS: Math 3A,3B,3C,5A,5B PSTAT120A, CS 16,24,32,40,48,56,64 BA in CS: Math 3A,3B,3C,5A,5B PSTAT120A, CS 16,24,32,40 CS5, CS8 do not count for either degree (Disclaimer: This slide is an informal summary—NOT the official document.
