What it is

A broad, rigorous training in the science of computing: a 96-unit major with a core, then a track such as artificial intelligence, systems, theory or human-computer interaction. No prior coding is assumed.

What you need

  • No courses or minimum scores are required for admission. Stanford reads IB results in the context of your school and country, with no GPA conversion; SAT or ACT scores are required.
