Additional Information

  • All courses must be taken for a grade.
  • Students with previous courses in machine learning may place out of CSE 417T. These students will be required to complete an additional foundations course for a total of three foundations courses.
  • Students who began the certificate prior to FL16 who have successfully completed CSE 517A, independent of CSE 417T, will be required to complete an additional foundations course in place of CSE 417T for a total of three foundations courses. No student will be allowed to take CSE 417T after the successful completion of CSE 517A.
  • Any student who began the certificate prior to FL16 may use CSE 441T in place of CSE 541T.
