    UCSC offers a Computer Science-Game Design major within the school of Jack Baskin School of Engineering. It is recommended that high schools students planning to apply to any major in the School of Engineering should have completed four years of mathematics (through advanced algebra and trigonometry) and three years of science in high school, including one year each of chemistry, physics, and biology. Comparable college mathematics and science courses completed at other institutions may be accepted in place of high school preparation.
