Does not include the University's General Education language and culture requirement. Additional hours may be required.

CHEM 120 is for online program students only.

ECE 111 and other ECE required courses satisfy the Computer Science Information Literacy & Research requirement of CS 121G.

ENGN 150 satisfies the CS 150 requirement in Computer Science curriculum.

ECE 304 satisfies the STAT 330 requirement in Computer Science curriculum

ENMA 480 satisfies the Computer Science Philosophy & Ethics requirement.

Computer Engineering students pursuing the dual degree with Computer Science have two remaining ECE 400-level Technical Elective courses.

ECE 346 satisfies the CS 170 requirement in Computer Science curriculum.

ECE 443 satisfies the CS 270 requirement in Computer Science curriculum.

The General Education requirements in information literacy and research, impact of technology, and philosophy and ethics are met through the major. The upper-division General Education requirement is met through a built-in minor in computer science and through the completion of a second major/degree.

Computer engineering and computer science majors must earn a grade of C or better in all 200-level ECE courses and all CS courses prior to taking the next course in the sequence.

Any ECE course registration issues are to be resolved with the ECE Academic Coordinator and Program Manager.

The five-year plan is a suggested curriculum to complete this degree program in five years. It is just one of several plans that will work and is presented only as broad guidance to students. Each student is strongly encouraged to develop a customized plan in consultation with their academic advisor. Additional information can also be found in Degree Works.
