Good to Know:
• Princeton uses the term "concentration" for major; therefore a CS major is a CS "concentrator." It is written as major here for easy of comparison purposes.
• Students are accepted into the university not a major, then declare CS major in spring of Freshman year, with advisor approval. (Information provided here assumes this path; however, it is possible to transfer into CS through Sophomore year.)
• Prerequisites to declaring CS major are marked with asteriks (*).
