University of Maryland, College Park - Department of Computer Science

If you are interested in being admitted to UMCP’s computer science program you are recommended to complete as many lower level requirements of the major.  If you complete your core courses upon transfer you may have to augment your schedule at College Park in order to be a full time student.  The UMCP computer science program does not accept lower level computer science courses for transfer.  But there are situations where students may test out of several UMCP computer science courses.

Prior to transfer, you may satisfy the university’s core requirements and complete several courses which will make you better prepared for the computer science program.

Students are recommended to complete the following courses prior to transfer:

• PSYC-101
• MATH-140
• MATH-150
• MATH-240
• MATH-250

You will be required to take a “placement/examination exam” prior to starting CMSC courses at UMCP.  Check  “Exemption” for more information.
