Students who have already taken core or elective courses specified by the program can, with departmental approval, substitute other courses that are suitably technical and appropriate to the degree program. Departmental approval will require justification and shall be evaluated with increasing stringency for each additional substitution. None of the 30 units may be taken as an independent study (i.e., CSE 400 or CSE 500). Courses with an "N" designation do not count toward the master's degree. All courses must be taken for a grade of C- or better. As per Engineering School guidelines, students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.70.
NOTE: GRE required for Computer Science & Engineering Department programs for Spring 2024 and Fall 2024; all others are optional. There is no specific minimum GRE or GPA requirement. Admission to all of our programs is based on the strength of the entire application during our review process.
