Prerequisite and Corequisite Coursework

All graduate students in Computer Science must achieve a B grade (or equivalent) in the following courses, or courses deemed equivalent to these courses by the program director, and must be taken either prior to or during your graduate studies:

Course List

Code	Title	Credits
CS 321	INTRODUCTION TO THEORY OF COMPUTATION	3
CS 325	ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS	4
CS 444	OPERATING SYSTEMS II	4
or CS 472	COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
CS 381	PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE FUNDAMENTALS	4
or CS 480	TRANSLATORS

1

Students must register for ENGR 520 in the first term of the graduate program unless given direct written permission from the department

2

ENGR 521 must be completed in the term in which the degree should be awarded. If a student fails to meet a different degree requirement in the term which they complete ENGR 521 with a passing grade [C or higher], the passing grade will remain valid for one subsequent term, excluding summer term. If the passing grade in ENGR 521 becomes invalid, it must be retaken and a passing grade [C or higher] received to graduate. A student may not attempt ENGR 521 more than twice; failure to complete it in two attempts will result in automatic dismissal from the MEng program in Computer Science. ENGR 521 may not be taken during the summer term without direct written permission from the department

3

At least a 3.0 GPA must be achieved over these six courses

4

The selection of courses will be made in consultation with, and must be approved by, the student’s major professor and committee. These courses may be used to satisfy two, in one area, out of the six courses in the Required Core

5

If CS 510 is listed on a student’s Program of Study, the student must address and discuss this experience in their final portfolio or final exam presentation

6

Total credits may increase if additional credits in the Prerequisite or Corequisite Coursework area are needed
