Students who took an introduction to computer science class at another institution or believe that they have sufficient knowledge to test out of CS 150 are welcome to take a departmental exam. The exam requires knowledge of Python and a variety of topics including but not limited to control flow, basic data structures, classes, functions, and recursion. Part of the exam requires writing software to satisfy a specified behavior. Students who wish to take the exam should contact the department coordinator to schedule a time. Students who took the AP Computer Science A test do not need to take this exam nor do students who took an equivalent, in-person class at another institution. Equivalency is determined by the department chair.
