For University of Pennsylvania Math Ph.D. students accepted into either the CIS MSE program or the MCIT program, up to four electives can be computer-related math graduate courses. Students pursuing such dual degrees should coordinate with both departments to be sure that they can double-count the desired courses.

(a) The following are pre-approved for the MSE and MCIT program:

Math 570 Intro to Logic and Computability
Math 571 Intro to Logic and Computability
Math 574 Mathematical Theory of Computation
Math 575 Mathematical Theory of Computation
Math 580 Combinatorial Analysis and Graph Theory
Math 581 Combinatorial Analysis and Graph Theory
Math 582 Applied Mathematics and Computation
Math 583 Applied Mathematics and Computation
Math 584/585 Mathematics of Medical Imaging and Measurement
Math 670 Topics in Logic
Math 671 Topics in Logic
Math 690 Topics in Math Foundations of Program Semantics
Math 691 Topics in Math Foundations of Program Semantics
Math 692 Numerical Analysis
Math 693 Numerical Analysis
Math 676 (=CIS 610) Advanced Geometric Methods in Computer Science

(b) The following courses qualify for the MSE program and may qualify for the MCIT program, depending on the topics taught that year. Coding theory and cryptography have been topics of these courses in the recent past, which qualify for the MCIT program. Students should specify the topics taught in the application forms and CIS Plan of Study Form:

Math 524 Topics in Applied Modern Algebra
Math 525 Topics in Applied Modern Algebra

(c) The following courses qualify for the CIS MSE program but not for the MCIT program:

Math 502 Abstract Algebra
Math 503 Abstract Algebra
Math 508 Advanced analysis
Math 509 Advanced analysis
Math 542 Calculus of Variations
Math 590 Advanced Applied Mathematics
Math 591 Advanced Applied Mathematics
Math 594 Advanced Methods in Applied Mathematics
Math 680 Applied Linear Analysis
Math 681 Applied Linear Analysis
