Version 3.2 of the Software Engineering Curriculum applies to students starting in the Fall of 2015 or after. Version 3.3 is nearly identical* and this page serves to describe both version 3.2 and version 3.3. The track can be found in the Academic Catalog.

Differences in versions:

• The business courses were renumbered from version 3.2 to version 3.3. In particular, MS344 was renumbered as BA3444.

Math Minor

Software Engineering students can obtain the math minor if they take MA232 and MA235 for two (of the three MA/SCI electives) and then take one additional math course beyond the requirements for the SE degree.

UX Minor

Software Engineering students can obtain the UX minor with only one additional course beyond the SE degree requirements provided they:

• Take UX1400 and either UX172 or TC321 for their two free electives
• Select two HU/SS electives from the list specified by the minor
• Take one additional course from the "Two Additional UX Courses" section (Only one course is needed since SE2800 will substitute for UX345.)
