Notes

  • The introductory courses CSE 142 & 143 have been replaced with CSE 121, 122, & 123 starting in the 2022-23 academic year. Please read more about this course renumbering here.
  • While CSE 121 is not required, students may choose to take CSE 121 before CSE 122 depending on experience and comfort level. The Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering provides a guided self-placement online tool to assist students in deciding which CSE course to start enrolling in.
