Below are the courses I’ve taken at UW-Madison. The credit count for each course is in parenthesis; if a credit count isn’t indicated, a course is three credits. I initially declared a double major in Computer Sciences and Legal Studies. But, I dropped Legal Studies and picked up a Math certificate (equivalent to a minor). I’m also pursuing Honors in the Liberal Arts and Honors in the Major for Computer Sciences. Both of these require a slightly more intense course load via honors courses. Some courses are seminars or passion courses created by one professor and taking them with another may result in a vastly difference experience. For those classes, I’ll include the professor’s name.
For UW-Madison CS Majors and especially incoming students, I highly recommend looking at Michael Noguera’s course map.
Legend:
- (!): Particularly challenging, intense, or required many hours of work
- (=): Gen-ed course
- (+): Taken with honors (Honors Optional, Honors Only, or Accelerated Honors)
- (^): Particularly interesting or a class I just enjoyed
