For a discussion about programming languages used in the program, please see www.compeng.columbia.edu. Check the late-starting student chart for footnotes
about various courses.
1 “Total points” assumes that 20 points of nontechnical electives and other courses are included.
Applicants are generally expected to
have a bachelor’s degree in computer
engineering, computer science, or
electrical engineering with at least a 3.2
GPA in technical courses. The Graduate
Record Examination (GRE), General Test
only, is required of all applicants.
Students must take at least 30 points
of courses at Columbia University at
or above the 4000 level. These must
include at least 15 points from the
courses listed below that are deemed
core to computer engineering. At least
6 points must be included from each
department. CSEE and EECS courses
can count toward either department
minimum. Other courses may be chosen
with the prior approval of a faculty adviser
in the Computer Engineering Program.
