Definitions Core Courses – These are mandatory courses that all students MUST take Major (Specialty) Track Courses – Three courses in a subject area including at least one at 6000 level. Areas: AI, Database, Systems and Architecture, Networks, S/W Engineering, Graphics and Multimedia, Theory and Algorithms, Bioinformatics. Breadth Courses – Courses outside of your major/specialty track(s)* *Courses in chosen Major/Specialty Track cannot be used for breadth Fall 2008

Non-Thesis (Structured) Degree Plan Orientation Seminar (5194) 2 core courses: 5311, One of {5306, 5317} 3 breadth courses Only two may be in the same specialty area 3 courses in major area 1 (one 6000-level) 3 courses in major area 2 (one 6000-level) 1 Elective (can be in area of Major/ Specialty or outside the Department, with prior approval by advisor) Fall 2008

Important Notes You can use one, and only one, course outside the department (i.e., a non-CSE course) in your Degree Plan. NO waivers for Core will be granted even if you have taken Compilers/Advanced OS in your Undergrad. DO NOT ASK Directed Study (5393) is not allowed under the non-thesis (structured) option. Fall 2008

Planning Courses Make sure your Program of Work is complete… it is your responsibility Register early. Plan “Major” sequences for a three semester stretch. Thesis students - Do not wait to complete all courses before registering for Thesis. Several 5392/6392 classes can be taken. Fall 2008

Managing YOUR Degree Plan CSE Graduate Students can register in (almost) any course we offer… so BEWARE Only special CSE courses require clearance (Directed Study, Thesis I, any web course) YOUR plan is YOUR responsibility Use MyMav Degree Audit capability Ask questions of the graduate advisors if in doubt about progress or applicability of a specific course Fall 2008

Managing YOUR Degree Plan with MyMav MyMav degree audit feature Your degree plan is associated with your id# CS MS Non-Thesis, CS MS Thesis, CSE MS Non-Thesis, CSE MS Thesis, MS Software Engineering Graduate advisor can change between Thesis and Non-Thesis MyMav uses best-fit algorithm to apply your courses taken to your specified degree plan Courses that do not fit will be shown as “not-applied” Certain courses will require advisor action to apply in correct spot Fall 2008
