When I did my BS in CS stuff, 5 of my upper level elective courses were
also graduate courses. Of them
  Compiler Design: Grads had to implement a for loop, undergrads did not,
but I did anyway.
  Artificial Intelligence: Grads had to write a 15 page final paper,
undergrads a 10 page - big deal
  Computer Graphics: No difference
  Architecture and Design: No difference
  Operating Systems: I don't remember what the grads had to add to the
project, but I remember my team added that feature in as well.  You had to
write a batch OS based on given specs.  Each team submitted two programs
that every team had to be able to run.  We were hated - we pointed out a
flaw in the instructors interpretation of one of the programs that many
teams OS ran incorrectly.  Also, one of our programs had self modifying
code.  That made us real hated :)

Anyway, as I graduated, I should have been able to just take 5 more
courses and had a Master degree, but no...none of those 5 classes could
have counted.  I supposed I should have taken them all again while it was
fresh in my mind and had a good GPA.
