• ENGI E1006: Introduction to computing for engineers and applied scientists
• COMS W1003: Introduction to computer science and programming in C

• COMS W1004: Introduction to computer science and programming in Java

• COMS W1005: Introduction To Computer Science and Programming In MATLAB

• COMS W1007: For students who have placed out of COMS 1004 with AP scores

When?

First or second year.

Can I test out?

It is unlikely. Consult with your CSA adviser.
