CSE Academic Counselors
Viera Kair, room 1236
Ivonne Avila, room 1238
Patricia Raczka, room 1230
CSE Undergraduate Advising is located in the CSE Building (EBU3B) first floor, right behind the Hawkinson Bear. UCSD students may contact us via the on-line advising sytem vac.ucsd.edu.
CSE Advisory Exam
Students with previous programming experience in a compiled language may start with CSE 11, all others, should begin with CSE 3, or CSE 8A and CSE 8AL. Not sure which class to start with? Take the CSE Advisory Exam to find out which class to take.
CSE 91 - Perspective in CSE
Transfer Students do not need to take CSE 91, this course is waived for you. Students admitted as Freshman Students must complete CSE 91 or an approved alternative.
Program Changes
- CSE 15L (new fall 2007) may be used in place of the Phys lab requirement.
- CSE 70 (new fall 2007) may be used in place of the Math Science Elective. CSE 70 was renumbered to CSE 110 in fall 2010.
- CSE 131A (Compiler Construction I) was deleted summer 2007.
- CSE 131B (Compiler Construction II) was renumbered to CSE 131 in fall 2007.
- ECE 53A: Students may take ECE 53 in place of ECE 53A
- ECE 53B: This course is no longer required.
- ECE 53: Last taught in winter 2010. Students may take a CSE upper division course in place of ECE 53.
- Math 20D : Students may take a CSE upper division course in place of Math 20D.
- Phys 2C: Students may take a CSE upper division course in place of Phys 2C.
- Phys 2A/B: Students may take (Chem 6A/A and 6B/H) or (BILD 1 and 2) or (BILD 3 and BICD 100).
Technical Electives Requirement
- Six technical electives are required for a total of 24 units
- As of Fall 2010, 4 units of CSE 197 may be used toward technical elective credit
- As of Fall 2010, 8 units of CSE 198, CSE 199 or CSE 199H may be used toward technical elective credit
- Of the six electives, two of the the technical electives may be chosen from the wider set of courses that includes other electives as listed under the section titled Electives. This section also lists other restrictions in the selection of technical electives. If you want to deviate from this list of approved electives, you must petition with your CSE Academic Advisor
- In addition, students can also use CSE graduate courses for technical elective credit with approval. Once a CSE graduate course is used for an undergraduate degree that course may not be reused for a graduate degree
Degree Policies
- All major requirements and technical electives, except CSE 91, CSE 197, CSE 198 or CSE 199, must be taken for a letter grade
- To graduate, a grade point average of 2.0 is required in the upper division major requirements including the technical electives
