Courses / Degree Requirements
  1. Does course XYZ count for MS/PhD credit?
    The way to find out whether or not a course counts for credit toward the MS or PhD programs is to either contact the instructor, contact Jenny (jenny@cs) or check the list provided each semester (this semester's can be found ??HERE??).
  2. Is course XYZ hard/easy/worthwhile?
    During the Peer-Counseling Panel, we fielded questions sharing our respective experience in a given course or with a given professor. Your best bet outside of the panel is to contact current students who have taken a particular course previously (google is your friend here).
  3. What are the course requirements for a Masters? a PhD?
    The official requirements are provided in the department policy manual. Check here for Master's and PhD requirements.
