Breadth Courses

Computer Science courses are listed in the three different breadth bins below.

To earn a Computer Science PhD, MS or MSCPS (Professional masters) degree, you must earn a B or better (not a B-) in at least one 5000-level course (not 6000 or higher) from each of the ³Ù³ó°ù±ð±ðÌýbins. By petition to the Graduate Committee, similar transferred graduate work done elsewhere may be used to satisfy part of this requirement. Below is a list of courses for each bin.
