Program Title:
Five-Year Dual Degree BS/MSE
Type description, as it should appear in the catalog. NOTE: indicate which
college(s)/school(s) are eligible for program. Line through deletions and
underline additions if a revision.
The five-year dual degree BS/MSE program enables a UW-L student to earn
both a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and a Master of
Software Engineering (MSE) degree in five years. Students in this dual degree
program should complete C-S 120, 220, 270, 340, 370, 421, 441, 442, MTH
207, 208, 225, and 9 credits of 300 or 400 level C-S electives (excluding C-S
341) by the end of their junior year. During the senior year students should
complete C-S 741, 743, 742, 546 and 6 MSE elective credits. In the fifth year
students should complete C-S 744, 3 MSE elective credits, and the capstone
project. C-S 546 and C-S 741 will count toward the 40 credit hours of
computer science required for the B.S. degree. C-S 742, 743, 744, 12 credits
of 798 (capstone project), and 9 credits of MSE electives will fulfill the MSE
requirements.
Students may be accepted into the dual degree program anytime before they
have completed seventy-five undergraduate credits hours. Applicants for
undergraduate admission to UWL may request admission into the dual degree
program. In order to remain in the program students must maintain a 3.00
GPA. Award of the BS degree will occur upon completion of 120 credits, the
C-S major requirements, the SAH college requirements, and the general
university requirements. Students must have graduate student status prior to
registering for their fourth graduate course (normally in the second semester of
their senior year.) Award of the MSE degree will occur after the completion of
the BS and MSE requirements.
Contact the Computer Science Department for application information. See the
Graduate catalog for more information about the MSE program
