Specific CS student schedules vary widely because upper level courses are only taught on alternating years and because students may want to place the cross-cultural experience semester at a different year or semester. Some students also come with AP credit in math, CS, and other courses which can accelerate the schedule. Many students also choose internships, multiple topics courses, and alternate math courses based on a unique plan of study.

The schedule leaves significant room for electives even when taking more than the required number of computer science courses and students are encouraged to choose a minor or second major.
