Graduate Elective Requirement (9 credits)
9 credits. Must include 1-3 credits of CSE 700 level seminar. May include at most 6 graduate credits from outside the CSE Department (requires approval from the Graduate Director). The following courses do not satisfy the Graduate Elective requirement: CSE 501, CSE 503, CSE 504, CSE 507, CSE 699, the versions of CSE 799 that provide credit for work as Laboratory Assistant.
Notes
At most one credit of CSE 598 (Internship) can be counted towards the MS requirements.
CSE 542 cannot be used towards the MS requirements.
At most one of the following courses can be used to satisfy MS requirements:
- CSE 519 Object-Oriented Techniques
- CSE 522 Software Requirements Engineering
- CSE 523 Quality Software Design
- CSE 525 Software Testing
- CSE 539 Software Engineering Tools and Building Blocks
- CSE 553 Software Development Project Management
MS culminating experience requirement, satisfied by completing a non-credit bearing final integrative project (which can be part of the CSE 6xx course).
Student status will change to graduate after the completion of no more than three graduate-level courses, at which point all Graduate School rules and policies apply. Student must be familiar with and adhere to the Graduate School’s Policies and Procedures Manual as well as the CSE Department’s Graduate Handbook.
Students completing their BS CS as a subsequent bachelor’s degree can fulfill the requirements of this BS CS/MS CSE degree as long as they complete at least six (6) CSE courses (minimum 18 credits) at the undergrad level and at least 8 courses (minimum 24 credits) at the graduate level at UB.
*Students are permitted to take alternative programming courses EAS 230 or EAS 240 in lieu of CSE 115 , however CSE 115 is strongly preferred for Computer Science majors. The alternative programming courses should only be utilized by students transferring into the program with EAS 230 , EAS 240 , or EAS 999TRCP (general programming for transfer students) already completed. View our Computer Programming Requirement website for more information on the programming alternatives and self-study packages.
**Students are permitted to use PHY 151 and PHY 152 in lieu of PHY 158 , however PHY 158 is preferred.
