• Uses effective oral and written communication methods to explain both the technical and product-use details of a software artifact.

The Software Engineering Major

The Software Engineering major, consisting of 48 credits, leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. At graduation, Software Engineering majors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the major. The calculation is based on the grades for all courses presented for the major. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. At most one of the foundation courses (CMPSC 100 , CMPSC 101 , or CMPSC 104 ) may be presented for the major on the Credit/No Credit basis. At maximum 16 transfer credits may be counted toward the major; exceptions must be approved by the department chair.
