In addition to the core CMS requirements, students select three of the packages listed below. Packages for each concentration (chemistry, life science, earth and environmental science, computation sciences, and physics and astronomy) consist of a minimum of 9 upper-level credits. Students can only select one of the computational science packages, and one of the physics and astronomy packages.
Chemistry
Note: For the 2021-22 session onwards, CMS students can only register for Chem 355 for the lab requirement, not Chem 315 or 335. Chem 315 will be acceptable for students who have taken it in the previous years.
Earth and Environmental Sciences
Life Sciences
Physics
| Physics deals with matter and energy and the interactions between the two. It allows us to understand phenomena that take place around us and in the universe. Physical laws help us perceive our world. Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe. Others develop advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment. | ||

Astronomy
| Astronomy is the study of celestial objects (such as moons, planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies), the physics, chemistry, mathematics, and evolution of such objects, and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, including supernovae explosions, gamma ray bursts and cosmic background radiation. A related but distinct subject, cosmology, is concerned with studying the universe as a whole. | ||

Computer Science
Computer science deals with using and improving computers as tools for uncountable applications. One stream of computer science is in computational intelligence, where people work to create computer systems that can perceive and reason about the world and surroundings.
All new year 2 CMS students applying for CMS Computer Science package Admission:Packages with the Computer Science option offer very limited seats. If you’re pursuing the CS option as one of your three packages, you must complete the survey below by June 29th. The system helps avoid delays in your graduation and ensure availability of seats in upper year computer science courses. Seats are assigned based on overall GPA, completed courses, and other factors. You’ll be informed by July 4th whether you’ve gained admission to the CMS Computer Science option. If you do not receive an email by July 5th, you have not been assigned a seat in the CMS CS package. When you’ve finalized your three packages, visit the CMS portal and update your profile by adding completed courses annually. | ||
