Curriculum

See College of Engineering and Computing  for entrance requirements, progression requirements, and special academic opportunities.

In addition to the general education and progression requirements of the College of Engineering and Computing, a grade of C or better is required in MATH 374 and all CSCE courses applied to the degree.

All required CSCE courses and courses taken as major electives are major courses and may not be counted toward a minor or application area. All other required courses and electives may be used for a minor or application area as appropriate. CSCE 101 and 102 are not major courses and may not be used for major credit.
