These interactive guides provide a semester-by-semester outline of the courses within a curriculum in a "flowsheet" format. The flowsheets enable students and advisors to visualize the pre-, co-, and post-requisites associated with a course. This tool provides a means for students to understand how courses within a curriculum are linked and provides guidance regarding course scheduling.
The effective academic year (AY) refers to the academic year a student is admitted to the major. Academic years listed with a red font represent years in which a curriculum revision was implemented. Please see theUndergraduate Catalogfor detailed information regarding effective academic years.
Students can obtain the requirement term (map to effective academic year) associated with their major through the SEAS Portal.
If you have any issues using the flowsheets tool or need assistance, pleasecontact the SEAS Office of Academic Affairs to meet with an academic advisor.

General Notes:
Within the flowsheet presented above, students are expected to satisfy four of the five UB Areas and the Diversity Learning requirement via the four Thematic/Global pathway courses shown. Computer Science BS courses are included in List 3 of the thematic pathways, and the List 3 class for the global pathway can be completed within required electives. Please see the pathways website for more information.
STA 301 and MTH 411 are equivalent courses. Students cannot earn credit for both STA 301 and MTH 411.
Students must complete the Scientific Literacy Sequence using only the following courses: BIO 200, BIO 201, BIO 211, CHE 101, CHE 113, CHE 105, CHE 107, CHE 108, CHE 127 & 128 (both required to complete SLI Lab component), GLY 101, GLY 102, GLY 103, GLY 105, PHY 107, PHY 108, PHY 117, PHY 118, PHY 158
Effective Fall 2019, CSE 400 level classes except CSE 442 and CSE 493 will be 3 credits.

Please see the pathways website for more information.
Transfer students are encouraged to complete a minimum of 60 credit hours during the first two years of study. We recommend that they complete a Digital Systems course (equivalent to UB's CSE 241) and a calculus-based probability and statistics course (equivalent to UB's MTH 411, EAS 305, or STA 301) in the first two years of study.
STA 301 and MTH 411 are equivalent courses. Students cannot earn credit for both STA 301 and MTH 411.
Students must complete the Scientific Literacy Sequence using only the following courses: BIO 200, BIO 201, BIO 211, CHE 101, CHE 113, CHE 105, CHE 107, CHE 108, CHE 127 & 128 (both required to complete SLI Lab component), GLY 101, GLY 102, GLY 103, GLY 105, PHY 107, PHY 108, PHY 117, PHY 118, PHY 158
CSE 220 is a prerequisite for CSE 341. Students who did not earn credit for CSE 341 at their prior institution must complete CSE 220 before CSE 341. Students who have transfer credit for CSE 220 can take CSE 341.
Effective Fall 2019, CSE 400 level classes except CSE 442 and CSE 493 will be 3 credits.
