CS&E Students Undergraduate programs 1000 full-time students 250 degrees conferred per year Fifth Year Master Program 30 full-time students Started in 2008 for current CSE undergrad students Full-Time Graduate Program – research focus 225 full-time students 25 Ph.D. graduates per year Professional Master’s Program 180 part-time students 60 new students per year 50 graduates per year (900 to date)

  6. Mission Allow IT professionals access to CSE faculty & curriculum Students exposed to latest research developments Promote regional IT recruiting and advancement Strengthen existing CSE/Industry partnerships Not: Path to the Ph.D. program Not: Advanced technical training program

  7. Degree Requirements PMP leads to a MS Degree in Computer Science & Engineering Degree (non-thesis) consists of 40 credits: Eight Professional Master’s Program courses (4 credits each) No pre-requisites exist among courses Eight additional credits Typically fulfilled by enrolling in our colloquium series (1 credit each) Time to complete the program: 2 1/2 years - one course and one colloquium per quarter.

  11. Courses Regular Courses: Operating Systems Distributed Systems Compiler Construction Programming Languages Software Engineering Network Systems Digital Systems Computer Architecture Parallel Computation Artificial Intelligence Data Mining/Machine Learning Applied Algorithms Computational Biology Software Systems Image Understanding/Comp Vision Computer Graphics Human Computer Interaction Transaction Processing Database Management Systems Software Entrepreneurship Computer Security Natural Language Processing Molecular & Neural Computation Robotics Ubiquitous Computing Some one-time courses: Alternative Computer Paradigms Mobile Computing Ubiquitous Computing IT in the Developing World Cryptography Concurrency Complexity Theory Quantum Computing

  12. Colloquia Enables students to see state of art research from the best in field. Info: https://www.cs.washington.edu/academics/pmp/course-info Students can view talks live or on-line. (80% available on-line) Live: Tues.& Thurs. 3:30-4:30 usually room EE-105. On-line: “on demand” link from URL above. To earn 1 credit: view any 8 colloquia; report on any 4.
