The substantial changes to CS courses means that all departments that currently have a CS requirement are impacted. Those impacted and the changes needed are:

• Cellular and Molecular Biology. P. 47 will change to

  2. Supporting courses (6 units):
  b. Two mathematics and computer science courses: one chosen from Mathematics 104 or 110; and one unit chosen from Mathematics 115 or Computer Science 111 one unit of Computer Science.

• Mathematical Biology. P. 49 will change to

2. Supporting courses (7 units):
c. Two units of computer science or mathematics courses chosen from Computer Science 111, Mathematics 190, 200, 201, 205, 208, 215, 230, 240, 300, 310, 335, or 375 or one unit of Computer Science. A maximum of one unit of Computer Science courses may be used for this requirement.

• Chemistry. P. 54 will change to

  2.Supporting courses (4 units):
  b. At least two units selected from Biology 247; Computer Science 100(1⁄2)/116 (1⁄2), 111 Computer Science; Mathematics 106, 115, 175; or
  Physics 102, 206 or 210.

• Environmental Studies, P. 91 will change to

1. Natural science courses
b. Two additional natural science units, with no more than one unit at the 100 level, chosen in consultation with the advisor from Biology 111, 121, 141, 151, 201*, 217, 220, 337, 343, 351, 357, 372, Chemistry 117, 220, Computer Science 111 Computer Science 121, 123, 131, Environmental Studies 258, Geology 100, 110, 200, 215, 230, 235, 240, Mathematics 104, 110, Physics 101, 102*, Physics 210*.

• Mathematics.

  P. 114 will change to

2. Supporting courses (3 units):
a. Computer Science 111 One unit of computer science.

P. 116 will change to

200. Discrete Mathematics (1).
Prerequisite: Mathematics 115; Computer Science 111 121 and 123 or equivalent.

P. 116 has

Mathematics 300 has Computer Science 111 and 195 as a prerequisite. This course is intended to be eliminated so it is not important.

P. 117 will change to

383. Mathematics Colloquium (1⁄4).
Presentations by participants on selected topics, with occasional guest speakers. This version of the colloquium is especially recommended for math minors. May be repeated for credit if topic is different. (Also listed as Computer Science 383.) Graded credit/no credit. Prerequisite: Computer Science 111 one unit of Computer Science and Mathematics 110.

P. 117 will change to

384. Mathematics Colloquium (1⁄2).
Students will learn how to research topics, write papers, and present talks in mathematics. They will review manuscripts and talks given by students in Mathematics 385 and will write preliminary drafts of presentations themselves. Discussions on other topics of significance to mathematics professionals. (Also listed as Computer Science 384.) Offered each semester. Prerequisite: Mathematics 175.

P. 117 will change to

385. Mathematics Colloquium (1⁄4).
Presentations and written papers by the participants on selected topics, with occasional guest speakers. The course may be taken more than once. (LW) (Also listed as Computer Science 385.) Offered each semester. Prerequisite: Mathematics 384, junior standing.

• Physics. P. 141 has

1. Nine and 1⁄2 departmental units:
c. Four additional elective units: No more than 2 100-level units. No more than 1 total unit of Physics 300, 390, 395, and 397.
One unit Up to one total credit of computer science or mathematics may be substituted for a physics elective, with prior departmental approval.

• Linguistics and TESL. P. 190 has

2. Three units of electives in linguistics or language-related courses chosen in consultation with the program advisor, with no more than 2 units in any one department. Normally, no more than 1 of these units may be counted toward meeting the requirements for the minor in linguistics if it serves to meet the requirements for any other concentration. Courses may be elected from the following: Computer Science 310, Education and Youth Studies 243, English 160 and 301*, Linguistics 200, or Philosophy 100. Other language-related courses may be considered for electives in consultation with the program advisor and instructor of the course.

Under discussion

• 3-2 Engineering Programs. P. 207 has

4. Completion of the pre-engineering core curriculum at Beloit with at least a “C” average: to either a B.S. or an M.S. degree in engineering.
*Computer Science 111 and 195. Note: A student with programming experience may be able to take 195 without 111, with consent of the instructor. Two units of Computer Science, including CSCI 201.

Under discussion

• Medicine and Dentistry. P. 208 has

  1. Natural sciences and mathematics: Biology 110, 111, or 141 and at least one from Biology 141, 248, 289, 300, or 357; Chemistry 117, 220, 230, and 235; Physics 101 and 102, Mathematics 110 (115 is recommended). Some course work in computer science and experience with computers is also recommended.

  This will remain the same.

• The Nursing program has a similar statement to Medicine and Dentistry (p.209) and this will also remain the same.
