I thought this was a pretty good program overall. It seemed a bit too theoretical in some classes but I really enjoyed it.

The program started in Fall of 2005. I completed the program and I recommend anyone who wants to pursue advance education from the public university in California. The instructors and course curriculum were great. A lot more home works and studies were required with this program.

I completed the MSE program in 2007. I liked it so much that I convinced one of my friend to take it. The program is valuable in a two ways: It covers all aspects of software engineering that would not be easily obtained from working experience, and the online nature of the program allowed me to maintain a full time job (family time did suffered). I also like the master project course. We had a lot of freedom in choosing our project topic. The professors are also very nice. The only negative aspect of this program is that it was not easy to make and keep friends than if the program is not held online.

Joe Marcelino’s comments summarize the program very well. We graduated together in 2007. There program involved many team projects and offered a very supportive, outstanding faculty. An online program makes exact lecture hours flexible. Students can revisit lecture materials easily, but must keep up with the pace of the busy curriculum to be successful. As a mid-career professional, this created an opportunity for learning that worked very well for me.

Due to employee educational reimbursement requirements and my financial state, I am required to get at least a 'B' in all classes I take in order to pay for the classes. Can someone here tell me if there are any disproportionately challenging courses/professors(no names needed) in the program that demand an extraordinary amount of time in order to achieve a 'B' that I should know about before enrolling.

GE,
This is a masters program, so overall it is very challenging. A few of the classes are just plain difficult but it is possible to get a B in all the classes. I know more than 2 people in my cohort that considered dropping out but most people do finish the program. I will like to add that missing a class is very costly because one will have to wait an entire year to retake the class. I manage to finish on time and graduated this month.

Can anyone recommend any good courses to take from this program?

I completed the Master's program in 2007. The Cal State Fullerton MSE program offers an excellent graduate program covering the core "process-oriented" software engineering concepts. The Software Engineering Master's program is different from a Computer Science Master's program in that Software Engineering is geared towards providing the graduate student with a strong foundation in topics such as CMMI, Requirements Analysis, Software Measurement, Software Process, Project Management, Software Verification and Validation, and Software Architecture (vs. Design). Overall, the MSE program at Cal State Fullerton was highly effective in providing a solid education through the use of online technology (for lectures, discussion, and homework assignments) and distributed project teams. If you want to have more "Computer Science" programming work, that could still be accomplished through the required Capstone Master's graduate project. Therefore, the graduate student is able to gain valuable experience with the higher-level Software Engineering concepts such as Requirements Analysis and Project Management (through distributed project teams -- this mirrors the real-world with distributed collaboration using online tools and telecons) and work at a lower-level programming task through the individual Master's graduate project.
