Software Engineering, BSSE

Traditional Degree Program Requirements (124 units)

Software engineers work to produce effective software applications for the benefit and use of mankind. They work in almost every industry creating and enhancing software as either a product or supporting mechanism. Software engineers are educated to analyze, problem solve, create, and optimize complex systems. They work over a wide range of scales, designing and implementing software in a predictable and reliable manner.

General Education

The general education requirements will follow the curriculum set forth for other University programs. Some general education requirements will be met through specific Software Engineering requirements. Approximately eighteen (18) units of general education are not met in the specific core and Software Engineering requirements.
