Courses

The rules for the minimum number of credit hours one must accumulate for the CS&E program must also satisfy the Graduate School requirements. The minimum number of credits one must take are as follows:

• at least 12 hours of course work at the 5000 level or above,
• at least 18 hours of course work at the 4000 level or above, and
• at least 30 hours of course work or research credit.

Notice the subset containment inherent in these requirements. These courses must be approved by the Advisory Committee on the Preliminary Program of Study* form. They will form the basis for the computational part of the comprehensive exams.

The Advisory Committee approves the required courses by signing first the Preliminary Program of Study(*) and then later the Degree Schedule(*). It is requested in Keeping on Track that the Preliminary Program of Study(*) be turned in during the second semester of residence.
