• (Feb. 19, 2007) DoD Scholarships for students in Information Assurance: The Defense Dept. has a number of scholarships available to students (must be US citizens) interested in Information Assurance. These students should be planning to pursue the Information and Computation Assurance option. Please contact Prof. David Lee (lee@cse) if you are interested in applying for this scholarship.
• (Feb. 18, 2007) Annual Undergraduate Forum: The annual CSE/CIS forum will be held on Feb. 20, 2007 in DL 305 at 6:00 pm. Come and learn about recent changes in the programs and discuss ideas for further improvements! Pizza and softdrinks will be served.

• (Dec. 1, 2006) A new technical elective option on Information and Computation Assurance (ICA) is now available for both CSE and CIS majors. Over the last few years, ICA-related issues from privacy concerns of individuals to concerns of private businesses interested in protecting trade and other secrets, as well as national security considerations, have become increasingly important. The ICA option is tailored to meet the needs of students interested in this area.

  Another important change is the availability of the new Individualized Option for both CSE and CIS majors. This option will allow students to choose, depending on their interests and in close consultation with their faculty advisors, an appropriate group of CSE and non-CSE courses for their technical electives.

  For detailed descriptions, please see the appropriate curriculum pages or talk to the Advising Office.

• (March 1, 2006) Change in GPA for admission to the CSE and CIS majors: Effective immediately, the minimum CPHR for admission to the CSE and CIS majors is 2.0. All other requirements for admission to the major are unchanged. If you are a pre-major and have fulfilled all the other requirements for admission (or will do so this quarter) and have at least a 2.0 GPA, please visit the CSE Department's Undergrad Advising Office to apply for the CSE or CIS major.
