Courses Outside Computer Science

Each M.S. student is strongly urged to elect at least three hours taught by a department other than Computer Science, unless the student has an unusually broad background.

Ph.D. students should be aware that their guidance committees may require courses outside the CS department. It may be in your interest to examine the offerings of other departments to determine what courses offered there might be relevant for your program of study.

Computer Science students often take courses offered by the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, and various departments in the School of Medicine, especially when such courses are related to the student's area of research interest.
