CSSE POLICY ON COUNTING INDEPENDENT STUDY CREDIT FOR GRADUATE DEGREES
The CSSE department policy prohibits counting more than 4 units of independent study courses toward your MS or BMS degree. This includes CSC-400, CPE-400, CSC-500, CPE-500, and any co-op units that are otherwise degree applicable. It also includes capstone units taken either standalone or as part of a minor. If you have questions about how this policy applies to a course you want to count, or believe your specific circumstances merit an exception to the policy, ask the graduate coordinator.
All coop and internship for credit is run by the department chair. You can find additional information about the requirements at https://csc.calpoly.edu/internship-credit/
