Does the department offer any certificate or degree in software engineering?
Together with the department of Computer Engineering, the department now offers a B.S. degree in Software Engineering (BSSE). This is a relatively new program, so its governing policies and procedures, and its relation to the Computer Science major, still need to be worked out. The program is described in the university catalog. Other current information on the program is available on the web site at http://www.se.sjsu.edu/. Some idea of the difference between the two programs is given in the table below, which compares their course requirements as stated in the university catalog. Most of the additional BSSE coursework in CS & Engineering is in a two-year project sequence and other software engineering courses. The table does not include the zero-credit summer co-op experience that is strongly encouraged for BSSE students. It also does not include the 3-unit BSCS “additional science” requirement, which is here assumed to be satisfied within SJSU Studies or with CS 120A. courses units
