 View the catalog page for the computer science department.
Students majoring in computer science at Oberlin College are prepared both for graduate study in the discipline and for careers in industry and business. No previous experience with computer science is required or expected in order to complete the computer science major while at Oberlin.

Note(s) on Requirements
- Of the five required major elective courses, a minimum of three must be at the 300-level.
- Private reading courses do not normally count toward the major.
Transfer of Credit Toward the Major
Transferred credit for CSCI 150 counts toward the major.
Course of Study
Most students who wish to study computer science or who wish to explore programming and algorithmic problem-solving should begin with CSCI 150 . This course does not assume any prior experience with programming and is appropriate for both potential majors and non-majors. Since the requirements for the major in computer science are substantial, students planning to major in the discipline are encouraged to begin the coursework in their first year at Oberlin taking CSCI 150 and CSCI 151 along with MATH 133 . It is, however, possible to complete the major without overloading starting with CSCI 150 in the fall of the sophomore year.
