<p>Seems like it has a lot of software stuff in it., but if you pick the right hardware-related electives you’ll totally be fine. check out what their EE program offers as well, btw.</p>

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I wanted to know how competent the Courses in Buffalo are for Computer Science. I am planning to get into Databases and Mining. </p>

<p>Here are the requirement: </p>

<p>Complete 11 courses [33 credits]

  1. CSE 501 Introduction to Graduate Studies in CSE is mandatory
  2. 4 CSE 500-level core courses, one from each core area
  3. 2 additional CSE 500- or 600-level courses, both of which must be from the same core area
  4. 1 additional CSE 500- or 600-level course
  5. 1 CSE 700-level seminar
  6. 6 credits of electives (which may be from outside CSE).</p>
