MTU Department of Computer Science

Coursework - Plan D - Option

The Course Work Plan D option requires 30 hours of graded course work. It allows none of the 30 hours of credit required for graduation to be in CS5990, and permits no more than 3 hours of CS5999 credit to be applied to the 30-hour requirement.

Breadth Requirement

The breadth requirement will be satisfied by a graduate or a senior-level undergraduate course in 4 of the following areas. Also, listed are the Michigan Tech courses that satisfy the requirement.

Area	MTU Courses
Architecture	CS4431, CS5431
Artificial Intelligence	CS4811, CS5811
Database	CS4421
Graphics and Modeling	CS4611, CS5611
Languages	CS4121, CS4131, CS5131
Parallel Algorithms	CS5331
Scientific Computing	CS5911
Software Engineering	CS4711, CS5711
Systems	CS 4411, CS4451, CS4461, CS5411,CS5441, CS6461

For students who received their undergraduate degree someplace other than MTU, courses taken at your undergraduate university in the above areas may be used to complete the breadth requirement. The MTU faculty member whose expertise is in the area of the non-MTU course under consideration for the breadth requirement must approve the course as acceptable. Complete the "Breadth/Depth Requirement Form" obtained from the Computer Science office.

Theory Requirement

Students must finish the semester equivalent of CS4311 and CS4321 and one graduate theory course, either CS5311 or CS5321 .

Please refer to "Keeping on Track Forms" for required forms and timelines.
