Advisor assignments for new students will be available before the end of the
second week of the term.
At first new students should seek any faculty member of the Department of
Computer Sciences for advice.
We will register you for this term after the presentation of this orientation
information.
Meet with your
advisor.
With your help, develop a ``Program Plan'' in your first term.
If you have subject deficiencies noted on your admission letter,
take them first: MTH 2051 Discrete Mathematics, CSE 5000 Introduction
to Programming, CSE 5001, Computer Organization and Assembly Language
CSE 5000 Introduction to Programming: a first course in C++
CSE 5001 Assembly Language and Computer Organization: computer basics
Required courses: CSE 5100 Data Structures and Algorithms,
CSE 5220 Computer Architecture, CSE 5230 Operating Systems, CSE 5250
Programming Languages

Students in the Master's of Science in Computer Information Systems
are required to pass a comprehensive examination in the last term
they are registered as a full-time student.
Students in the Master's of Science in Computer Science
may elect to take a comprehensive examination in the last term
they are registered as a full-time student, but they are encouraged
to write a thesis under the direction of a member of the
computer science faculty.
Information on comprehensive examination is available at the URL:
In a nutshell, the Master's of Science in Computer Information Systems
examination consists of three sub-exams:

Compilers, or
Software Engineering
3.
And, one subject selected from systems:
Computer Architecture,
Operating Systems, or
Computer Networks
The Master's of Science in Computer Science examination consists of four
sub-exams:
1.
One subject selected from applied software:
