What Is A Degree Completion Program?

This degree completion program is specifically designed for students who have started, but not finished, their four-year undergraduate degree. If you've completed 60 transferable units, satisfied all CSU requirements, and have a 2.7+ GPA, you can earn a valuable degree from San Diego State University that fits your busy schedule.

This program is designed for students who have not earned a bachelor's degree. If you already have a bachelor's degree, we will not be able accept your application for this program.

Program is Perfect For...

As a student in the B.S. in Computer Engineering Program, you’ll acquire the skills you’ll need to build a career as a computer engineer in an academic community that encourages innovation.

Graduates of the program are involved in the design, development, manufacture, installation, and operation of general purpose and embedded computers of all sorts. You’ll focus on both hardware (i.e., the electronic circuits and devices that actually store and process information) and software (i.e., the programs that control the operation of the hardware).

The program is designed to help degree completion candidates enter a number of technical fields, including:

Software Development
Computer Programming
Applications Development
Systems Engineering and Architecture
Information Security
Database Architecture
Networking

Many students also use the knowledge they’ve built in the program to apply for graduate programs in computer engineering.

The program will help you gain invaluable hands-on experience through guided laboratory sessions on SDSU’s campus. The remainder of the program is held in virtual classroom sessions led by the same expert faculty and lecturers who teach on-campus courses in SDSU’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This means that you’ll be able to earn your degree without the need to attend all your classes in-person, which is ideal for working professionals.

Best of all, you’ll be able to earn the same degree as SDSU’s on-campus students: a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from San Diego State University.

What You Can Learn

SDSU’s Computer Engineering program will give you the tools you need to become a highly-skilled computer engineer that’s capable of working with both computer hardware and software.

Learning Objectives

1. Computer Engineering graduates will be successful in modern engineering practice and contribute to the economies of the State of California and the nation.
2. Computer Engineering graduates will be productive citizens with high ethical and professional standards who can make engineering and management decisions.
3. Computer Engineering graduates will have the intellectual skills necessary to assume leadership roles both in their profession and to future graduates.

Learn More

The curriculum isn’t just theoretical. In addition to providing you with a solid foundation in mathematics, science, and other fundamentals, you’ll also study specific areas of the field that play a large role in the rapid growth of the technology that powers our modern world, including:

Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VSLI)
Multimedia Systems
Embedded Systems
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Computer Networks
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

The entirety of the program is centered on engineering design, and how to solve open-ended problems with realistic design constraints. This overarching principle culminates in a Senior Design Capstone Course that demonstrates your progress throughout the program, with a focus on teamwork, design process, consideration of economic and social factors, oral and written communication and creative thinking.
