Sample Four-Yr Program
This Sample Four-Year Plan is a tool to assist students and their advisor(due south). Students should use information technology—forth with their DARS report, the Degree Planner, and Course Search & Enroll tools—to make their own iv-yr plan based on their placement scores, credit for transferred courses and approved examinations, and individual interests. As students get involved in athletics, honors, research, educatee organizations, study abroad, volunteer experiences, and/or work, they might adjust the gild of their courses to accommodate these experiences. Students will probable revise their ain four-year plan several times during college.

Advising
The undergraduate coordinators in the Department of Computer Sciences are set to help students with questions near the major, L&S caste requirements and policy, and course selection. Information on academic advising for students interested or alleged in the computer sciences major is posted to the Computer Sciences advising folio.
CAREERS
Demand for those with a computer sciences education is exceptionally strong. According to figures from the U.Due south. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the vast majority of growth in STEM (science, applied science, technology, and math) occupations through 2020 volition occur inside computing fields.
Calculator sciences majors are encouraged to begin working on their career exploration and preparation before long after arriving on campus to explore unlike career paths, participate in co-ops or summertime internships, set up for the job search and/or graduate schoolhouse applications, and network with professionals in the field.
Section of Computer Sciences: the department hosts 1 major career fair per year, in the fall, equally well as other opportunities to connect with employers, such as technical talks and information sessions.
SuccessWorks at the College of Letters & Science: SuccessWorks offers two major career fairs per year, assists with resume writing and interviewing skills, and offers private career advising appointments for 50&S students.
Engineering Career Services (ECS): ECS offers 2 major career fairs per twelvemonth, assists with resume writing and interviewing skills, and hosts workshops on the job search.
L&S career resources
SuccessWorks at the College of Letters & Science helps students leverage the bookish skills learned in their major, certificates, and liberal arts degree; explore and effort out unlike career paths; participate in internships; prepare for the job search and/or graduate schoolhouse applications; and network with professionals in the field (alumni and employers). In brusque, SuccessWorks helps students in the Higher of Messages & Science notice themselves, notice opportunities, and develop the skills they need for success afterward graduation.
SuccessWorks tin too help students in career advising,résumé and cover letter writing, networking opportunities, and interview skills, also every bit course offerings for undergraduates to begin their career exploration early in their undergraduate career.
Students should prepare up their profiles in Handshake to take care of everything they need to explore career events, manage their campus interviews, and utilise to jobs and internships from 200,000+ employers around the country.
