CSE Elective Courses
A CSE elective is a course that has a significant overlap with computer science and engineering, either because it focuses on a significant application or use of computers, it focuses on an underlying technology for computers or communication, or it develops a conceptual or formal framework useful in doing computer science and engineering.
Courses not on this list may be applied toward CSE (senior) electives if approved by the CSE Undergraduate Faculty Advisor. If you would like to petition to have a class count toward (senior) electives, please contact the undergrad advisers.
Note: Computer Engineering majors may not use the same course to satisfy Math/Science Electives and Computer Engineering or Free Electives
