A subprogram in software engineering is available to PhD, MS thesis, and MS non-thesis students. All requirements for your graduate degree remain as defined in the ECE graduate manual. Successful completion of the specific coursework requirements described in the subprogram results in a degree designation that specifies the software engineering subprogram on a student's transcript. The subprogram coursework may satisfy both the subprogram requirements and contribute to the coursework that constitutes the cohesive plan of study for the primary degree.

The software engineering subprogram requires the following course work.

1) The following two are required courses (6 s.h.):

2) At least two of the following courses must also be taken (6 s.h.): 

3) A total of 18 semester hours must be taken from the pool of approved ECE software engineering-related courses listed below (including approved special topics courses):

Students that complete one or more required courses as an undergraduate can substitute courses from the list of approved ECE courses; see the list of approved courses in the ECE Graduate Manual.
