NEW! MS-CS FIVE-YEAR (4+1) UNDERGRAD PROGRAM:
The new CS 4+1 MS program offers an opportunity for Duke undergraduates to earn an MS degree in CS (MSCS) with an extra (fifth) year at Duke. The MSCS degree is in addition to your undergraduate degree. This 4+1 program may be a good path for you if you are able to take two or more “extra” graduate courses as an undergraduate, beyond any courses you need for your undergraduate degree. The 4+1 MSCS program is suitable primarily for CS majors and CS minors. Learn more.

COURSE-RELATED UPDATES
New! COMPSCI 582 Cryptography
COMPSCI 582 Cryptography is an introduction to the design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms. Topics include basics of abstract algebra and number theory; symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms; cryptographic hash functions; message authentication codes; digital signature schemes; elliptic curve algorithms; side-channel attacks; and selected advanced topics. The prerequisite for this course is COMPSCI 230 or an equivalent.
New! RE-NUMBERED COURSES
These new courses, which have all been taught previously as Special Topics courses (i.e., CompSci 290 and/or 590), now have permanent course numbers. If you have already taken them as a Special Topics course, you may not take the re-numbered course.
COMPSCI 290 (old) → COMPSCI 207 Introduction to Mobile Application Development in iOS
COMPSCI 290 (old) → COMPSCI 345 Graphics Software Architecture
COMPSCI 290 (old) → COMPSCI 362 Introduction to Computational Imaging
COMPSCI 551 (old) → COMPSCI 581 Computer Security
S/U COURSE CREDIT
MATH 111, MATH 112 and COMPSCI 101 -- Only these three courses may be taken S/U and count towards degree requirements for CompSci majors and minors. For other majors and minors you plan to have, you need to check if they will also allow these courses to count if taken S/U.
For IDM majors, only these three courses -- MATH 111, MATH 112 and COMPSCI 101 -- can be taken S/U and count towards the CompSci part of your IDM. Check with your other major in your IDM to find out whether they will also allow these courses to count if taken S/U.
REMINDER: CHANGES TO MAJOR/MINOR REQUIREMENTS
1 ) You are now able to use COMPSCI 210D in lieu of the COMPSCI 250D requirement. If you have already taken 250D, you will not be able to take 210D. If you are an ECE major, you must take COMPSCI 250D.
2 ) For the CompSci majors and minor, we have a new category of courses called "Social Analysis of CS". Only one course in this category can count as an elective for the COMPSCI majors or COMPSCI minor. The "Social Analysis of CS" category includes: COMPSCI 240 (previously COMPSCI 190 Fall 20 and Spring 21), COMPSCI 342, and COMPSCI 290 (cross PUBPOL 290).
3 ) For the CompSci BS and BA majors as well as the Software Systems and AI/Machine Learning concentrations, COMPSCI 345 - Graphics Software Architecture AND COMPSCI 512 - Distributed Systems now count as systems core classes.
