CS + X Degree Programs

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has an innovative blended degree option called CS + X that allows students to pursue a flexible program of study incorporating a solid grounding in computer science with technical or professional training in the arts and sciences.

Computing is ubiquitous, with applications in virtually any field imaginable—from developing gene-sequencing algorithms to designing methods for high-frequency trading, creating computer-generated graphics and special effects, analyzing social data from internet communications, and creating embedded real-time systems for medical devices.

X represents the major blended with the core computer science curriculum. Several colleges across campus offer majors – you apply to and graduate from the college that provides the X major. Illinois graduates with a CS + X degree are uniquely positioned to launch careers or pursue graduate studies in many fields.
