YearOne
The YearOne class serves as an interdisciplinary catalyst
for first-year students to access campus resources, services
and opportunities that promote self-knowledge, leadership
development, social responsibility and life skills awareness
and application. YearOne is also designed to challenge
and encourage first-year students to get to know one
another, build relationships and help them become an
integral part of the campus community.
This is a recommended course sequence.
Individual schedules may vary. You are
responsible for verifying course offerings and
pre-requisites. For additional information refer
to the department’s website (http://www.rit.edu/
gccis/computingsecurity/).
Students are given four 3 credit free electives
to complete in their degrees. These required
courses are able to be filled with any credit
baring course. The Free Elective courses can
be filled with courses for a minor, double
major, or classes of interest.
Wellness Education Requirement
Complete two different wellness activity courses.
Details and a list of courses can be found on SIS.
Co-op
The co-op requirement is two terms. You must
fulfill this requirement before registering for
capstone course CSEC 490. You are
responsible for coordinating academic terms
within your course schedule to complete co-ops.
Get to Know Your Advisor
Meet with your advisor regularly to plan your
courses, to get help with scheduling problems, or to
just check-in with how you are doing.
Perspectives:
Choose a course for the Social, Artistic, Ethical, and Global perspectives. The other three perspectives are
specified by required courses in the CSEC program. Use the ‘Course Attribute’ feature on SIS Class Search
