• CSE 491 Undergraduate Research 

Free Electives

All students are required to complete at least 124 semester hours of coursework. In addition to courses you take to satisfy the requirements of your major, you will need to take enough free electives to complete the 124-hour requirement. These can come from any courses that Miami offers. No more than 10 hours may come from Kinesiology and Health courses (KNH) numbered 110-170. 

This chart shows the courses needed to graduate, when those courses are typically taken, and the order in which the courses must be taken. The main area of the chart shows four boxes, one each for first-year, sophomore, junior, and senior years. Within each year, areas for fall and spring semesters are shown. Courses are listed within each semester to indicate when the course is typically taken. An arrow leaving a course and pointing to another course indicates that the first course must be taken prior to taking the second course. Below all the years is a section containing a collection of courses that can be taken when convenient for the student and therefore no particular semester is recommended.

Notes at the top of the flowchart state the following:

• Meet each semester with your academic advisor to review plans. 
• Most courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise noted.

Within the Junior and Senior years, there is a box containing 4 SE Electives. A note in this box states: Consult Miami Bulletin for a list of SE electives and their prerequisites. Typically, you can begin taking electives after taking CSE 271 & CSE 274. So, it is possible to begin electives sooner.

Notes at the top of the flowchart state the following:

• Meet each semester with your academic advisor to review plans. 
• Most courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise noted.
• You need 1 GMP Humanities course, and 1 GMP Social Science course. CSE 262 counts as one of these, and then you select one additional GMP Humanities or Social Science for the other

Within the Junior and Senior years, there is a box containing 4 SE Electives. A note in this box states: Consult Miami Bulletin for a list of SE electives and their prerequisites.

Textual Description of Software Engineering Course Flowchart
2020-21

This chart shows the courses needed to graduate, when those courses are typically taken, and the order in which the courses must be taken. The main area of the chart shows four boxes, one each for first-year, sophomore, junior, and senior years. Within each year, areas for fall and spring semesters are shown. Courses are listed within each semester to indicate when the course is typically taken. An arrow leaving a course and pointing to another course indicates that the first course must be taken prior to taking the second course. Below the individual years is a collection of courses that can be taken when convenient for the student and therefore no particular semester is recommended.

A note at the top of the flowchart explains information about software engineering electives: 

Software Engineering (SE) Electives (4 courses - 212 hours): In addition to the required CSE courses, take 12 hours of SE electives (4 courses). Consult Miami Bulletin for a list of acceptable courses and their prerequisites. Typically, students can begin selecting these electives after taking CSE 271 and CSE 274.

• Students with two majors in the College of Engineering and Computing must take a minimum of 15 unique, additional credit hours in their second major beyond the requirements of the first major.
• The total number of credit hours for the double major depends on several factors, and should be discussed with your CSE advisor. However, it is possible to complete the requirements of the double major in roughly 130 credit hours. This total can be affected by:
  • Your choice of Computer Science and Software Engineering electives
  • Your choice of math, science, and statistics courses
  • Other factors such as AP credit, transfer credit, and study abroad plans

• CSE 211, 212, 311, 321, 322 (at most two of these courses would count toward your 21 hours of Computer Science electives)
• Additional Software Engineering electives that are not already counting toward your Computer Science requirements or electives.

• CSE 381 and CSE 465
• Additional Computer Science electives that are not already counting toward your Software Engineering requirements or electives.
