Computer Science And Engineering Core [24 Units]

The computer science and engineering core consists of 6 courses (2 lower division and 4 upper division) designed to provide students a common foundation of core knowledge specific to the discipline.

Technical Electives

A total of 24 units of CSE technical electives are required. CSE technical electives are all upper division courses, MATH 131  and MATH 141 . Upper division core courses taken in excess of the core requirements may be counted as technical electives. Other upper division courses outside your major area of study can be selected with approval.

Additional Degree Requirements

• ENGR 191: Professional Seminar [1 unit]
