The BS in Software Engineering program requires a minimum of 120 credits for degree completion.
Note: A minimum grade of C- is required for all computer science and software engineering course prerequisites, unless otherwise stated.
Within the policies of the School of Computing & Engineering, the Software Engineering program enforces credit limits during the academic terms. Exceeding 18 credits in the fall or spring semesters, 4 credits in the January term, or 10 credits in each summer term requires the approval of the dean's office.
