Graduate Courses

Below is the list of graduate-level CS courses. Each eligible course is assigned to an "Area", where areas are part of the breadth requirements for some CS degrees and for the PhD Qualifiers. There are currently 11 areas, numbered from 0 through 10. (Historically, these numbers came from an attempt to use the second digit of the course number to indicate topic, but that concept broke down years ago.) None of these areas should be considered to be more or less priviliged than any other (though due to Grad School requirements on graduate degrees, we do require all students entering during or after 2019 to take a course from Area 0).

Anticipated graduate course offerings for the next two academic years are available here.

A listing of current CS Advanced Topics and Special Study Graduate Courses can be found here.

In addition to the courses listed below, graduate students may also take a limited number of the 4000-level courses listed here.

The list of approved cognate courses is available here.

Be aware that some courses are simliar to each other, and we will not permit you to count both for credit toward the same degree. See the course overlap table here.
