Advising Notes
CS/SE Freshmen/Sophomore Advisor: Undergrad Advising Center
CS/SE Upper Level Advisor: Andrea Negro
IMPORTANT: Walk-ins for upper level students (PJ, JR, SR) are cancelled during finals and break weeks. If you would like to come in for a meeting during that time, feel free to contact Andrea Negro at amn27@drexel.edu to schedule an appointment. Important Changes to the Curriculum
Software Engineering:
CS 283 Systems Programming will now be required instead of CS 361 Concurrent Programming. If you have already taken CS 361, that will still count. We will allow current students to take either CS 283 or CS 361. Students starting in the Fall term will be required to take CS 283.
Also, the biology option will now be BIO 122/124/126 (BIO 102/104/106 will no longer be offered). You cannot take both sequences, and you cannot take BIO 100 if you have had BIO 102/104/106. If you have started the BIO 102/104/106 sequence and have not yet finished it, please contact your advisor to see what to take next.
Computer Science (BS)
CS 283 Systems Programming will now be required instead of CS 282 Systems Architecture II. If you have already taken CS 282, it will still count. We will allow current students to take either CS 282 or CS 283. Students starting in the Fall term will be required to take CS 283.
Computer Science (BS & BA)
CS 282, now a CS elective, will be part of the new Computer Architecture track. This track will include courses offered by our department and ECE (CS 282 Systems Architecture II, CS 476 High Performance Computing, ECEC 356 Embedded Systems and ECEC 413 Intro to Parallel Computer Architecture).
Also, the biology option will now be BIO 122/124/126 (BIO 102/104/106 will no longer be offered). You cannot take both sequences, and you cannot take BIO 100 if you have had BIO 102/104/106. If you have started the BIO 102/104/106 sequence and have not yet finished it, please contact your advisor to see what to take next.
Always remember to review the elective lists on the CS website when you choose your courses, especially Writing/Communications electives. If you take a course that is not on that list, it will not count.
