Two general models for the organization of CSE graduate degree programs have emerged. In the first model, a graduate degree is awarded in the new discipline of CSE. Often in this model the CSE program resides within an existing department, usually mathematics or computer science. In the second model, graduate degrees are awarded in the traditional disciplines of mathematics, computer science, science and engineering, with an area of specialization of CSE. The CSE programs residing in different departments usually share a core curriculum and a basic set of standards for graduation with the CSE specialization.
