* Of the 7 electives selected at least two must be “CS” electives and at least two must be “EE” electives. A “CS” elective is a CSE course with a “T”, “S”, or “A” suffix. An “EE” elective is either a CSE course with an “M” suffix or an ESE course. If you are interested in taking a CSE or ESE course that is not on the accepted list but seems appropriate you can ask the CoE committee to approve it.
At least 5 of the 7 technical electives must be selected from the preferred list:
CSE 240, ESE 330, CSE 332S, ESE 351, CSE 422S, CSE 425S, CSE 436S,
CSE 460T/ESE 460, CSE 463M/ESE 463, CSE 464M/ESE 464, CSE 473S, ESE 482
The remaining two technical electives may be selected from the accepted list:
CSE 313A, CSE 333S, ESE 331, ESE 334, ESE 336, ESE 337, CSE 405A/ESE 411,
ESE 407, ESE 430, CSE 431S, ESE 432, ESE 436, ESE 438, CSE 441T, ESE 441,
CSE 452A, ESE 471, ESE 488, or courses approved by the CoE committee.
+ Of the 18 units of humanities and social sciences, at least 6 units must be social sciences (S), and at least 6 units must be humanities (H or HP). At least 3 units must be at the 300-level or higher.

* For the BSCS electives: CSE 361S, CSE 362M, CSE 462M, ESE 465 (M distribution) in the CoE core satisfy 4 of the 6 CS electives. Of the remaining two CSE elective courses at least one of them must be a "T" course. Note that ESE 403 can be taken as a theory (T) elective but this wouldn't count as a CoE elective.
For the BSCoE electives: CSE 240, CSE 332S, CSE 436S and CSE 422S, 425S, or 431S from the CSE core satisfy 4 of the 7 CoE electives. An “EE” technical elective is either a CSE course with an “M” suffix or an ESE course. If you are interested in taking a CSE or ESE course that is not on the accepted list but seems appropriate, you can ask the CoE committee to allow that course to be included.
