CSE Option in Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers CSE Options in both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. Students electing the CSE Option for either degree program are expected to satisfy all regular requirements for graduate study in ECE. A student will normally be able to satisfy the requirements for the CSE Option by taking elective courses within the ECE graduate programs.
M.S. Program
For the M.S. in ECE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: two courses must be taken from a list of CSE core courses, plus any two additional CSE courses. The M.S. thesis must relate to some aspect of CSE.
Ph.D. Program
For the Ph.D. in ECE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: two courses must be taken from a list of CSE core courses, plus any four additional CSE courses, with the restriction of two courses from each of two areas. The Ph.D. thesis must relate to some aspect of CSE, and the thesis committee must include at least one CSE-affiliated faculty member from a department other than ECE.
