Students who have not had CEN 4010 and/or COP 4331 must take CEN 5035 and/or COP 5330, respectively, to satisfy this requirement. Students who have had the 4000-level courses can not count the corresponding 5000-level courses toward th e degree.

MSCS (thesis option) students must take at least 6 of the below software engineering course, two from each group. MCS (non-thesis option) students must take at least 8 of the below software engineering courses, at least two from each g roup. Appropriate special topics courses may also be used to meet these requirements with approval of the student advisor. Special topics courses in software engineering that have been taught or may soon be taught include: Software Reuse, Real-time SW Design, SW Architecture, Knowledge-Based SW Development, and Advanced SW Reliability Engineering.
