ABOUT CS111


If you’ve decided to study tech, CS 111 will lay the the groundwork for the academic experiences that lie ahead.



ADDITIONAL INFO


This might be your first-ever experience with a tech-oriented class, and you’ll find that almost all of your classmates are in the same situation. CS 111 includes lots of group work, because we believe that new tech skills are best learned together!
