CSE 601 offers students the opportunity to explore and develop their careers
through professional practice. The structured plan of education impacts
student work-readiness through a number of professional development
skill-building activities. Students will provide a brief final report on their
experiences. After completing the course, graduate students earn credit
towards their degree with CSE 601 listed on their permanent transcript.
Students are expected to adhere to the CSE Recruiting
Policy during their job search and period of employment.
