<p>Freshman who are considering concentrating in CS will generally take CS50 the first semester (<a href=“https://cs50.harvard.edu/”>https://cs50.harvard.edu/&lt;/a&gt;), as much for the experience as the knowledge.</p>

<p>Check the FAQs (<a href=“FAQs - CS50x 2021”>https://cs50.harvard.edu/faqs&lt;/a&gt;) - some of them address whether or not it makes sense for someone to skip CS50 if they have prior CS knowledge.</p>
