Notes for ALL CEEN Graduate Students
A.  Non-Thesis students must take at least 6 courses out the list above.
B.  Non-Thesis students may only take ECEN 681 “Computer Engineering Seminar”; Other 681 Seminars will not count toward their degree.
C. The Seminar requirement for PhD and MS Thesis students is satisfied by either ECEN 681 or CSCE 681 (or another 681 Seminar with advisor’s approval).
D. ECEN 691 “Research” is only offered to MS Thesis and PhD students in CEEN
E. Course descriptions are found in the ECEN catalog (and other dept. catalogs; i.e.: MATH STAT, CSCE).

Note: The most up-to-date version of the CEEN Graduate Degree program and requirements will be found HERE in the ECE’s Graduate Advising Office’s Graduate Handbook. Check for our three (3) degree programs under “Computer Engineering Graduate Degrees” at that link.
