Where ACS-1905 counts
Counts toward 5 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course assumes that students already have working knowledge of an object-oriented programming language as well as effective use of data types and control structures. This course begins with an overview of the object-oriented programming language and then more advanced topics in order to extend the student's programming skill. Topics to be covered include inheritance, polymorphism, sorting techniques, string processing, interfaces, files and packages.
Requisite courses
Computer Science 40S or equivalent [prerequisite(s)]; and one of ACS-1805 with a minimum grade of C, Pre-Calculus Math 40S or Applied Math 40S [prerequisite(s)]; ACS-1905L (must be taken concurrently).
Restrictions
Students may not hold credit for this course and ACS-1904 | BUSC-1901 | BUSC-1902 | BUSC-1905.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
