UCSB Graduate Emphasis in CSE

• MS or PhD in traditional discipline, with
  specialization in CSE
• Mechanical and Environmental Engineering
• Computer Science
• Mathematics
• Chemical Engineering
• Electrical and Computer Engineering
• Core CSE courses (most cross-listed across all
  departments)
• Two quarters applied mathematics sequence
• Four quarters numerical computation sequence
  (students must take at least three quarters)
• One quarter parallel computation
• Overall load is the same as for students without
  the specialization
