<p>Note that preparation for graduate study in CS is described here:</p>

<p>You may want to consider this list when planning to take CS courses, even if you will not be able to complete a CS major. Even short of a CS major, you may be able to enter employment in computer jobs, if you have a strong enough motivation to self-educate anything needed (note that continuing self-education is necessary in the computer industry anyway, although a CS major will have more “base” education in CS).</p>

<p>At UCSD, the introductory sequence is CSE 8A/8AL, 8B, 12/15L, 30/100 (4 quarters) or CSE 11, 12/15L, 30/100 (3 quarters). Math would be CSE 20, 21 started concurrently with 8B or 11.</p>

<p>Note that some community colleges in the LA area offer courses equivalent to some of these UCSD courses, so you may be able to get a head start on the sequence cheaply before returning to UCSD. This may allow you go deeper into the sequence (i.e. take courses more advanced than CSE 100) after returning to UCSD.</p>

<p>Note that community colleges also offer beginner and intermediate foreign language courses, so you may be able to do those there and only need the literature course(s) at UCSD.</p>

<p>But be careful of the unit limitations:</p>
