Raikes School Curriculum

Courses in the Raikes School focus on the integration of computer science, business, leadership, communication, and engineering concepts using the theme of innovation. Students in the Raikes School will take core Raikes School courses alongside courses required for their chosen major. Each semester, most students will enroll in 15-18 credit hours with Raikes School courses, major-specific requirements, and general education requirements. The outline below highlights Raikes School (RAIK) courses each student will complete by semester with their cohort. 

All Raikes School courses are honors-level courses and meet Nebraska Achievement-Centered Education (ACE) outcomes 2, 3, 6, 8, and 10. In keeping with our tradition as an honors program of excellence, the Raikes School maintains rigorous academic standards. Students in the Raikes School are expected to excel academically to meet these standards and have the full support of school administration in their studies. 

Business (BSAD) Minor: Non-business majors who successfully complete the Raikes School core curriculum will meet the requirements for a Business minor.
Computer Science (COMP) Minor: Business majors, other non-engineering majors, and some engineering majors who successfully complete the Raikes School core curriculum will meet the requirements for a Computer Science minor.
