Cooperative Education:
The Co-op requirement is two terms. You must
fulfill this requirement before registering for
the capstone course, CSEC 490. You are
responsible for coordinating academic terms
within your course schedule to complete co-ops.

Choose a course for the Artistic, Ethical, Global, and Social
perspectives. The other three perspectives are specified by the
required courses in the CSEC program.
Immersion:
Select an Immersion approved in the General Education Framework.
An Immersion consists of three pre-defined upper level courses
focusing in one topic area. See the College of Liberal Arts website for
a listing.
Complete two different activity courses. Details
and a list of courses can be found on SIS.
Co-op Seminar:
This course helps students prepare for co-op
employment by developing job search strategies.
Students will explore current & emerging aspects of
the Computing Security field with employers, alumni
and current students who have already been on co-op.
Get To Know Your Advisor:
You should meet with your advisor regularly to plan
your courses, get help with scheduling problems, or to
just check-in on your academic progress.
This is the recommended course sequence. Individual
course schedules may vary. You are responsible for
varifying course offerings and pre-requisites. For
