The Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is an interdisciplinary field, which deals with the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of computing hardware and software. In this program, students explore the interaction between modern computer science and related technologies that have evolved the mathematical and design principles of engineering into the development of modern computing systems. This is an accredited BSCSE degree program offered through the University Partnership on LCCC's campus. The degree is offered by The University of Toledo's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). The University of Toledo's College of Engineering was recently ranked as one of the top four engineering programs in the state of Ohio by the Princeton Review. The 131 semester credit hours of the CSE degree program are offered to students as follows:
- 69 credit hours of mathematics, science, English, fine arts/humanities, and social science courses will be offered at the LCCC campus by LCCC faculty.
- 62 credit hours of CSE courses will be offered by the UT EECS Department at LCCC by EECS faculty.
- Students are dually enrolled and dually admitted, taking UT and LCCC courses simultaneously.
Graduates of the CSE program find careers in the aerospace, automotive, chemical, communication, electronics, manufacturing, and processing industries as well as in government and education. Computer engineers design both the hardware and software for automotive test equipment, biomedical instrumentation, computer networking, computer-aided design systems, computer vision systems, robotics, and more.
Admission Requirements
Graduating high school seniors and recent graduates need a 3.0 cumulative high school grade point average and a minimum ACT composite score of 25 or 1140 SAT composite score. Students must also successfully complete a minimum of four years of high school mathematics (with an emphasis on trigonometry or pre-calculus) and high school chemistry. High school physics is strongly recommended but not required. All high school students are required to have their ACT or SAT test scores submitted to The University of Toledo's Admission Office for consideration to the CSE program. The above-listed requirements apply to students who have participated in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program regardless of the number of credit hours earned or for students with less than 8 semester or 12 quarter college credits who have been out of high school less than 1 year.
The minimum CSE program admission requirements for transfer students with previous college credit (including LCCC) are
-
admission to Lorain County Community College,
-
a cumulative college GPA 2.75,
-
successful completion of Calculus I with a C or better,
-
successful completion of General Chemistry with a C or better.
Application Information
Students must complete the Lorain County Community College Application and The University of Toledo's CSE application. Official high school and previously attended college transcripts must be submitted with each application. Applications are available in the University Partnership office (UC 104), and The University of Toledo Partnership office (UC 111).

The program in Computer Science and Engineering Technology (CSET) includes hardware and software aspects of both computer design and computer applications. Computer design emphasizes the structure of computers and requires expertise in computational applications, digital design, microcomputer systems and computer architectures. Computer applications emphasizes the use of computer software in engineering technology and requires both low-level and high-level programming techniques, the use of mathematical algorithms, and a general knowledge of computer operating systems. The CSET program provides students with an in-depth understanding of computer hardware and software at the machine and system level.
The Computer Science and Engineering Technology bachelor degree program is the first of its kind in Ohio. Graduates of the CSET program are considered engineering technologists and are valuable additions to high-tech corporations throughout the country who are developing, maintaining, and marketing computer systems. Baccalaureate graduates are typically employed as network technologists, telecommunications specialists, network support specialists, LAN administrators, web programmers/designers, web server administrators, network administrators, network engineers, and LAN managers.
Parallel LCCC Programs
Admission Requirements
Students must have a high school diploma or equivalent degree to qualify for admission to Lorain County Community College. Students must have a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average in their Associate Degree to transfer into the bachelor's degree program.
Application Information
Students must complete the Lorain County Community College Application and The University of Toledo's CSET application and it is recommended that the applications be submitted at the same time. High school and college transcripts must be submitted for each application. Applications can be picked up in the University Partnership office (UC 104) and the Connections Center (CC 106).
