CORE
Students who first enrolled in Spring 2014 or earlier may substitute the old “core” for the distribution requirement. The core consisted of four (4) required areas:
- 4115 Programming Languages and Translators
- 4118 Operating Systems
- 4231 Analysis of Algorithms
- 4824 Computer Architecture
Every doctoral student must pass all four (4) core areas, via either the course or its cumulative final exam, if the course offers one. Core courses/exams may not be “imported” or “transferred” from other institutions, they must be taken in the Computer Science Department at Columbia University.
