* Satisfies core requirement

Please Note:

  • Almost all courses in the major are offered via Zoom on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
  • Almost all computer science courses have specific prerequisites that must be satisfied.
  • Computer electives are listed as examples. The actual electives offered each semester are subject to change.
  • Number of credits needed for graduation: 120. This includes courses in the Core, the major, and Judaic Studies. The number of additional credits students must take in the FLEX program depends on the number earned in seminary and/or during High School Freshman Center program.
  • The Flex program assumes that students have satisfied their Judaic Studies requirements with credits earned in seminary in Israel or elsewhere.
  • Specific Zoom courses will be reserved for those in the FLEX Program. Those courses are offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings for Women.
  • There are other online/asynchronous electives to choose from in most majors besides the ones listed here. Please work with an advisor to select the classes that will best serve your needs and career goals.
  • The Flex Program is meant for students with the self-discipline needed to complete work on a timely basis. Asynchronous courses are not the ideal format for some students.
  • Students who have attended Touro Freshman Centers or who have transfer credit from other institutions might have satisfactorily completed some of the courses listed on the following pages.
  • Students who wish to do so may take regularly available in-person LAS Flatbush courses as available.
