Fall 2009 M.S. Degree Requirements

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Requirements for M.S. Degrees

The CSE Department offers majors in both Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Both majors permit pursuing one of three plans: Thesis Plan, Comprehensive Standard Plan, or Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Plan.  Each plan requires forty-nine units of work.

CORE COURSES

The following courses must be must be completed with an average grade of B and no grade below B–:

 

Computer Science Majors:

Computer Engineering Majors:

CSE 202: Algorithms and Analysis

 

CSE 221: Operating Systems

 

CSE 240A: Principles of Computer Architecture

Choose THREE of the following courses: CSE 202, CSE 221, CSE 237A, CSE 240A, CSE 241A

 

 

Joint Core Course: CSE 292 Faculty Research Seminar (1 unit seminar, S/U)

  • Note:
  • * Concentration courses must be taken for a letter grade.
  • ** ELECTIVE COURSES: Elective courses may be taken for a letter grade or Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading.  The units obtained in the courses CSE 293, CSE 298, CSE 299, CSE 500, or CSE 501 and any of the one or two unit seminar courses CSE 209, CSE 229, CSE 269, CSE 290 do not count toward the 12 units required.
