Starting with FS2024 the department will transition the initial language from C++ to Python.

This will impact three Cmp Sci courses

  • 1250 will be in Python. The impact on the course is small, no changes other than some syntax.
  • 2250 will be in Python. The impact is larger as more Python-specifics will be included. Coverage of data structures will be the same except the different language.
  • 2750 will be phased out after SP25 and replaced with 2751 and 3260 to be taken as neended depending on your major.

Bachelor programs using 2750 will be updated accordingly.

Please review this transition guide and make sure to talk to your college or faculty advisor.
