Seminar requirements

One seminar or workshop in Computer Science.11

1

Operating Systems (20594) is a required course for students who began their studies since Fall 2012. Students who began their studies prior to that semester and do not take the course may accumulate only 30 credits in required courses and must take 12 elective credits, among them 6 advanced credits.

2

or both Introduction to Computer Science Using Java I (20453, 3 cr.) and Introduction to Computer Science Using Java II (20454, 3 cr.). Students who took Introduction to Computer Science (20427), which is no longer offered, are exempt from this course.

3

or Introduction to System Programming with C (20386), which is no longer offered.

4

or Computational Complexity (20545, 4 cr.), which is no longer offered.

5

or Principles of Operating Systems (20354, 6 cr.), which is no longer offered.

6

The list of seminars and workshops can be found in the Course Catalog.

7

For students who took Software Engineering: Abstraction and Object-Oriented Design (20442), which is no longer offered, the course counts as an elective in Computer Science.

8

Students who plan to continue to graduate studies in Computer Science are advised to take the following courses among the electives in Computer Science: Digital Design (20272) and Computer Organization (20471).

9

or Computer Organization and Programming (20420), which is no longer offered.

10

or Prolog and Artificial Intelligence (20284, 3 inter. + 3 adv. cr.), which is no longer offered.

General Requirements for a dual-disciplinary degree

Fulfilling all requirements as detailed here.

  • Accumulating credits required for the degree

  • Fulfilling all requirements in both disciplines

  • English language proficiency

  • Bibliographic instruction

Before enrolling in any course, students must ensure that they have taken all the prerequisites for it, even when the prerequisites are not included among the courses listed above.

Degrees awarded when combining two fields

When combining Computer Science with any field in the Sciences, the degree awarded is a B.Sc.

When combining Computer Science with any field in the Humanities or the Social Sciences, the degree awarded is a B.A.

General note regarding combining two fields

When combining fields in a dual-disciplinary program, students are required to take the basic studies in both fields. If a course is required in both fields, taking it fulfills the requirements of both. If a course is required in one field and is an elective in the other, it can only be taken as a required course in the relevant field. If a course is an elective in both fields, it will only grant credits in one of the fields.

For specific requirements when combining fields, see the individual combinations of fields (in Hebrew).
