M.S. and Ph.D. in Computing, Robotics Track


M.S. in Computing, Robotics Track

A student may pursue an M.S. with a course-only option, a project option, or a thesis option. The minimum number of credits is 30. Three courses are required, plus an additional three courses from a restricted selection as described in Robotics Track Courses.

Two additional elective courses at the 6000-level or higher (not including independent study, seminars, or thesis) from any department are required. Depending on whether a student is pursuing a course-only M.S., a project M.S., or a thesis M.S., additional 6000-level or higher courses can be chosen, this time including independent study, seminars, and research credit, in order to reach a 30-credit minimum.


Example Program of Study for an M.S. in Computing, Robotics Track

Below is one possibility for a program of study that satisfies the degree requirements. Thesis students will substitute thesis credits (CS 6970) for at least two elective courses.

Ph.D. in Computing, Robotics Track

A minimum of 50 credits is required, of which at least 27 credits must be graduate course work, and at least 14 credits must be dissertation research. Of the graduate course work, three are required courses, plus an additional four courses from the restricted electives as described in Robotics Track Courses.

Two additional elective courses at the 6000-level or above (not including independent study, seminars, or thesis) from any department are required. Remaining credits to fill the 54-credit minimum may be chosen from other 6000-level or higher courses or from seminars or dissertation research, but not independent study.
