Undergraduate Programs

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering offers degrees in two programs:

The mission of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is to develop the human and intellectual resources needed to meet the future technological challenges in the field of computing. This includes developing computer scientists and computer engineers for positions of leadership in industry, government, and academia. It also means performing basic, applied and multi-disciplinary research as well as coordinating and cooperating with other parts of the System to enhance the effectiveness of educational resources. Likewise, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering provides the intellectual leadership and technology in the computing field required by the university, the state, and the nation.

Appointments with an academic advisor can be made by calling 979-845-4087.

Force requests

Force requests for CSCE classes can be entered at CSNet at http://csnet.cse.tamu.edu/apps/forces. Do not use this for force requests for non-CSCE classes--contact the department teaching the class for those requests. If you have never had a CSE Department login, you can log in using your TAMU NETid and password. If you have previously had a CSE Department login that now is inactive contact the CS Department Helpdesk for assistance (this will be the case if you previously took CSCE classes). You must be inside the TAMU firewall to connect to this site, so you will need to use VPN from off-campus.
Force requests and prerequisite override requests for MATH courses can be made at http://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/.
Force requests for ECEN classes can be made through the form at http://www.ece.tamu.edu/documents/ECEN%20Force%20Request%20Form.pdf.
Forces for ENGR/PHIL 482 are at http://engineering.tamu.edu/engineering-ethics-force. These are limited to graduating seniors.
Forces for ENGL 301 for graduating seniors are available through http://www.english.tamu.edu/writing-programs/forcing.
