Approved Non-CIS Courses
David Matuszek, Director, MCIT

In addition to the six core courses, students are expected to take four electives. These electives must be appropriate for a Masters degree in Computer Science.

Here are some courses that are appropriate, and others that are specifically not appropriate. If you are interested in a course not on this list, check with me first.
