The degree without thesis option requires 33 credits of course work. The following rules apply to the selection of courses:

1. A minimum of 9 credits must be selected from the three groups of graduate courses (at least one course from each group).
2. A minimum of 18 credits of 6000-level courses must be completed.
3. No more than 3 credits of Directed Independent Study (COT6900) may be taken.
4. No course can be counted toward the degree that is more than seven years old at the time the degree is awarded.
5. A maximum of one 4000-level course may be allowed toward the degree with the prior approval of the student’s advisor. This course must be passed with a minimum of "B" grade. Any courses taken to make up for the deficiencies will not be counted toward the degree.
6. Must have a GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0 maximum) or better.
7. All courses in the degree program must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

The degree with thesis option, in addition to the above rules, requires a minimum of 24 credits of course work and a minimum of 6 credits of thesis work.

Transfer Credits
Any transfer credits toward the requirements for the Computer Engineering degree must be approved by the department, college, and the university. The transfer credits must correspond to equivalent requirements and performance levels expected for the degree. Normally, no more than 6 credits of course work can be transferred from another institution.
