Options are course requirements shared by both the Computing Major and Computer Science Specialization.
- They provide a choice for students to pursue a topic that interests them.
- They do not appear on diplomas, but can be included on resumés.
- Both programs require students to complete at least one option, but more can be completed through electives.
