Mathematics students pursuing an emphasis in CSE must complete the following:

• Numerical Methods: Mathematics 206A-B-C-D (students must take at least three)
• Parallel Computing: Computer Science 240A-B (students must take at least one)
• Applied Mathematics: Students must take a two course sequence from either the Mathematics 243A-B or the Mathematics 246A-B sequence.

The specific requirements for the M.A. in Mathematics (thesis option only) with the CSE emphasis are as follows:

• The completion of the all requirements for an M.A. in mathematics
• A masters thesis in CSE
• The thesis must be written under the supervision of a CSE ladder faculty member. The thesis committee must include a minimum of three permanent ladder faculty members, at least two from Mathematics and one from CSE (may be CSE faculty member from another department).

Students pursuing a Ph.D. with an emphasis in CSE must:

• Complete all of the requirements for a Ph.D. in mathematics
• Write and defend a dissertation in CSE.
• The student's dissertation must be written under the supervision of a Mathematics CSE ladder faculty member. The doctoral examination committee must include at least one CSE ladder faculty member and at least one ladder faculty member from another department.
