All core and security elective courses must be satisfied by courses taken at Illinois Institute of Technology. Only courses taken from the IIT CS department can be used as core courses; CS courses transferred from other universities can be used only as electives.

Students without a prior degree in computer science may be required to take some or all of the following courses: CS 201, CS 401, CS 402, and any other necessary prerequisites. This will likely increase the duration of the degree for such students.
