The Curriculum in My Program Will Not Lead to the Degree

[glty1234]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? california

My question involves education law in the State of: california

my undergraduate degree is chemical engineering, the courses in this interdiscipilnary is all about electrical engineering, and my potential degree is master in computer science with specialization in interdiscipinary.. now the department informed me that I will not get the degree even I finished the curriculum/program requirement in the program after one year's study.it's better for them to admit student with undergraduate degree in computer science but they admit me and my undergradute degree is chemical engineering.
My case goes toward the dean, how much compensation could I ask for??
I see student is responsible for taking right courses.. but the program/course requirements will not lead to the degree... should I still take part of the responsibility?? If you were me, will you ask for the compensation???

Could I sue the university?? in the court, do you think they will give me the degree directly??! since what cheapest is the piece paper of the degree

You should have researched this before taking the classes. Unless you have completed an outline, with a guidance counselor and they provided you with a schedule of classes and the degree it would lead to, you are on your own.

the university has three parts, the first part is department and the opinion from the department is very important, the graduate director in deparment has the right to decide whether give degree or not. and the second part is the dean/associate dean in graduate study, they take part of responsibility of administration and academics.. the third part is administors in the upper level of the univesity.. is it better to try work out this problem in the university or not ~?~

Try wherever you wish. This is your problem, not theirs.

so I'm still taking part of the responsibility to take the courses outside the program requirement??

But on the admission letter from university, the interdiscipinary program will lead to the degree..

my problem is that my undergraduate degree is chemical engineering, not computer science..

thanks anyway

thanks anyway

I'm sorry, I know this is very personal and expensive for you. When you get a job in the real world, use this as a learning experience about properly assessing the outcome of a project, before implementing it. Good Luck

We dealt with this already, and you still continued down the same path. This is totally your fault.
