CS to CSE Course Transition

Overview

This document provides projections of the retirement of old CS courses and the way those course requirements can be fulfilled using new CSE courses.

The primary audience for this document is students and advisers who are making plans for the future.

Please note: Every effort has been made to ensure this listing is accurate, but if there are any errors or inconsistencies, the university catalog and registration system are the official source of this information and will take precedence over this informational page.

Projected Course Retirements

The following are the projected final offering dates for the old CS courses.

CS 364	Software Engineering I	Spring 2022
CS 416	Software Engineering II	Spring 2022
CS 432	Software Engineering III	Spring 2022

Alternative Options for Older Degrees

Even though these courses will be retired, we will continue to provide a way for anyone on older catalog degree programs to finish their degrees.

Any courses you have previously taken toward your degree will continue to count for that requirement, even after a course is retired.

In addition, we have updated the older degrees to allow new courses to fulfill old course requirements for those degrees. There are slight differences in requirements, depending on the degree and catalog year. The following tables show the most common degrees/years. Please consult the grad planner or advising office for additional information.

Computer Programming Certificate 2017-2021

* Where two courses are listed on the "or" line for an old course, both new courses must be taken to fulfill the requirement.

** The CS 213 requirement can be met by either taking WDD 130 and CSE 121b, or by taking WDD 230. If a student has already taken WDD 230 (such as in a previous certificate), the CS 213 requirement will already be met by WDD 230.
