BSE Degrees | BAS Degrees | Dual Degree Program
The Computer and Information Science Department offers an accredited BSE Degree in Computer Science and requires a total of 40 course units (cu).
The BSE Degree in Computer Engineering is the discipline that designs and engineers computer systems from digital circuits, through compilers and runtime systems, to networking and world-wide distributed systems. This program is jointly owned by the Depts. of Electrical Engineering and Computer and Information Science.
The BSE Degree in Digital Media Design provides students with a rigorous background in computer science
as well as with foundation course work in fine arts and communications
theory. The major requires 40 course units (cu).
The BSE Degree in Market and Social Systems Engineering is focused on the study of computational systems interacting with one another and with people on a network -- with the Internet as the most prominent example. This degree brings together a study of algorithms, network analysis, scalable data processing, game theory, and sociology -- to focus on designing the next generation of networks and networked systems, as well as to understand networked behavior. Students also choose a depth area, which allows them to customize the degree and emphasize topics related to computer science, systems engineering / operations research, or economics.
The BAS Degrees require students to combine
knowledge of technology with an understanding of human and social
values. They are designed for students who do not plan to work as
professional engineers, and want a customized education which combines
the liberal arts and technology in a manner unique to their career
goals.
In all programs, the opportunity exists for studying a diversity of subjects which satisfy personal desires, developing a broad foundation for adapting to new societal demands, and maintaining flexibility for moving into new areas of interest if a change in personal career direction develops. Dual Degree Programs (for example, combining Computer Science with a different Degree from another School at Penn) are also available and are administered through the SEAS Office of Academic Programs (111 Towne Building).
Students in the College of Arts and Sciences can now add Computer Science as a second major. With this dual major, college students would receive one diploma from the College of Arts and Sciences.
