Non-Course Requirements

Students must either:
  • complete a 6 credit thesis (CSc I9900) under the direction of a member of the faculty, or;
  • complete both a 3 credit project (CSc I9800) under the direction of a member of the faculty and an additional 3 credit course numbered I1000-I6800 in Computer Science.

    • With the approval of the student's graduate advisor, a course in another Engineering discipline may be substituted for the elective Computer Science course in the second and third options.
