Is this a curriculum or a complete list of classes? 88 courses over a 4 year degree sounds a bit heavy.

Is this a curriculum or a complete list of classes? 88 courses over a 4 year degree sounds a bit heavy.
- Steven_Vellon 5y agoIt's a list of classes. At least the way it worked when I attended, CS students chose a particular track (Theory, AI, Systems, Graphics, HCI, etc.). The core curriculum was 3 theory classes and 3 coding classes. Each track has 2 or 3 mandatory classes (for systems it was operating systems, and either compilers or computer hardware). And on top of that there's general requirements.
- rajacombinator 5y agoYea, looks like the course catalog, not curriculum.
- tzs 5y agoList of classes. Only a subset are required for a degree. A bachelor's degree from the School of Engineering looks like it requires these CS classes [1]. • CS 103 and 109 • CS 106B or 106X • One of CS 181W, 182W, 191W, 194W, 210B, or 294W • One of CS 107 or 107 E • One of CS 110 or 111 • CS 161 • A senior project, which seems to fall under any of several course numbers • It looks like you have to pick a "track" (AI, Biocomputation, Graphics, and a few others) and take 4 or 5 classes from that track. (That is just CS classes. There are also some required math and physics classes). (I specifically said from the School of Engineering because I don't happen to know if all Stanford CS bachelor's degrees come from that. Some schools offer a degree from more than one school/college, sometimes with different requirements).

- the_svd_doctor 5y agoundergrads takes about 5 classes per quarter, 3 quarters per year, for four year. So 60 classes, but including all the other stuff that is non CS related. So yeah, its a list, not a curriculum.
