Textual Description of Software Engineering Course Flowchart
2018-19

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.
