Updated 5.9.2018

The following information is for the 2017-2018 academic year only.

Any upper division CSE course between CSE 100-190 that is 4 units, taken for a letter grade, and not being used for another major requirement may be used towards an upper division CSE Elective or Technical Elective. Additionally, the discipline of computer science and engineering interacts with a number of other disciplines in a mutually beneficial way. The following is a list of upper division courses from other disciplines that can be counted as either CSE Electives or non-CSE Technical Electives. Please refer to your appropriate Degree Program for maximum Technical Elective credit. Technical Electives cannot be used as an UD CSE Elective.

Students may not receive duplicate credit for equivalent courses. The UCSD General Catalog should be consulted for equivalency information and any restrictions placed on the courses. Additional restrictions are noted below. Any deviation from this list must be petitioned.

For Degree Audit inquiries, contact the Virtual Advising Center . Courses listed below may not automatically move over on the degree audit. You may need to submit a request via the VAC for an advisor to process move the course over on your degree audit manually.

CSE does not manage enrollment for courses in other departments. Unless you are told otherwise by someone in the respective department, students should assume they will need to meet all prerequisites before being allowed to enroll in any course listed below.

****STUDENTS MUST MEET ALL COURSE PREREQUISITES****

Please note: All major requirements must be taken for a letter grade, including Technical Electives. The only exceptions are: CSE 197, CSE 198, and CSE 199.

CSE ELECTIVES

+ Computer Science and Engineering

Any upper division CSE course between CSE 100-190 that is not being used for another major requirement (and is 4 units and taken for a letter grade) may be used towards an upper division CSE Elective or Technical Elective for Bachelors Art/Bachelors Science in Computer Science and Bachelors Science in Computer Engineering programs.

Students may use 12 units of CSE 190 toward CSE elective credit. CSE 190 topics may vary from quarter to quarter. May be repeated for credit max 3 times (maximum of 12 units; assuming courses taken for a different topic)
Students may use 4 units of CSE 197 toward CSE elective requirements.
Students may use 8 units of CSE 198 or CSE 199 or CSE 199H toward CSE elective requirements.
Undergraduate students must get instructor's permission and departmental stamp to enroll in a graduate course.
Undergraduate students may use graduate level courses towards their major requirements, but may need a petition if they have taken the equivalent/similar undergraduate course
CSE 291's are topics courses and are counted as part of the maximum of three CSE 190's allowed for CSE major electives
NOTE: The course numbers and sections are specific to each quarter. Please make sure your section and section ID correlate with the correct quarter you wish to get credit for your Special Studies.
