Under the computer networks option students must satisfy the MS, Electrical Engineering requirements with the exception that only 15 units of EE are required.

Fundamental Courses

It is expected that each student in this program will take or have taken the equivalent of three of the four following fundamental courses:

CSCI 402 Operating Systems Units: 4
EE 450 Introduction to Computer Networks Units: 4
EE 457 Computer Systems Organization Units: 4
EE 503 Probability for Electrical and Computer Engineers Units: 4

Note:

With the exception of EE 503 , the fundamental courses may also be satisfied by having passed EE placement exams.

Three of the following courses are required:

CSCI 551 Computer Networking Units: 4
EE 550 Data Networks: Design and Analysis Units: 4
EE 555 Broadband Network Architectures Units: 3
