  • Prospective Curriculum
  • Describe the Effects of the Change
  • Provide estimated head count in this program in the next academic year:*
    570
    570
  • Describe the impact(s) on teaching load, staffing patterns, and budget:*

    There may be a slight drop in enrollment in upper level (300 and 400-level) CSE courses with a slight increase in upper level courses from other departments.

  • Identify any courses/ programs affected by this change. *

    Bachelor of Science, CSE

  • Describe the nature of the effect and attach written comments from the chair(s) of the department(s) offering such course(s)/ programs.*

    We are working to encourage students to pursue outside academic interests that might complement well their CSE instruction. In order to encourage this, we will allow up to 6 credits of the required upper-level technical electives to come from courses outside of CSE. There may be a slight drop in enrollment in upper level (300 and 400-level) CSE courses with a slight increase in upper level courses from other departments. We believe that this will result in more well-rounded students.
