Yeah, they pretty much all require calculus, and most require 2 semesters of physics. Some let you take another science class instead physics.

Mine required 2 semesters of physics + labs and then a semester of any other science class.

But yours required physics and chemistry? I can't imagine why chemistry is required for CS.

Artifact of organization. My degree came through the college of engineering, which required physics and chemistry for all grads. And some technical breadth electives, too.
That makes sense. My CS department came out of the math department, I wasn't thinking of the ones that emerged from engineering.
Yeah, my alma mater has one of those too.

Michigan is a... unique beast. Anything worth doing is worth doing a minimum of twice, preferably with no knowledge of other attempts. This is why there are two entirely separate radio stations.
