Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

The natural place to start is in CS 111 (Introduction to Computer Science). CS 111, which is offered every term, requires no previous experience in computer science, is required for the computer science major, and is a prerequisite for all other courses in the department.

If you received a score of 4 or better on the Advanced Placement Computer Science A exam, you should enroll in either CS 201 or CS 202. If you have taken the AP CS Principles exam but not the AP CS A exam, you should choose CS 111 as your first CS course at Carleton.

If you have other previous computing experience that may be roughly equivalent to Introduction to Computer Science, you may be able to place out of CS 111. If you have some prior experience in the field, you should take the CS Placement Exam, and we’ll work with you to figure out the right place to start.

The Computer Science program is offered by Carleton College.
