Is physics required if you're a cs major in college?

I was told that as a cs major, you are required to take a few physics classes but I don't really see the correlation between physics and cs so I'm not really sure.

Andrew’s Answer

Computer science is not physics. However, the level of physics you may have to get into depends on particular emphasis of your chosen discipline.

Nonetheless, since computer science is a STEM discipline, you may have to take General Physics I & II to satisfy the science prerequisites.

Immad’s Answer

Since CS is STEM, you are required to take basic science courses in the first 2 years of college including physics, calculus, chemistry and biology irrespective of your major.
