Numerical Computation (NUM) Subplan Requirements

Degree Requirements

  • Students enrolled in the Professional MS in Computer Science (MSCPS) program with the Numerical Computation (NUM) subplan must complete 30 credit hours of graduate coursework that align with theÌýMSCPS degree requirements, including the requirements for the NUM subplan:
    • 9 hours -ÌýBin/Breadth courses
      • You must earn a grade of ‘B’ or better to satisfy each of the three BIN/breadth course requirements.
    • 6 hours - ProjectÌý³¦´Ç³Ü°ù²õ±ð²õ
      • Students must complete both project courses from one project course sequence.
      • Students must earn grades of ‘B’ or better in both courses.
      • Students cannot count just one project course to the degree.
    • 15 hours - ElectiveÌý³¦´Ç³Ü°ù²õ±ð²õ
      • You may take up to two, approved, non-CS courses.
      • Any non-Computer Science courses that can count towards a subplan will count against the two maximum allowable non-CS classes.
    • NUM SubplanÌýcourses
      • Must complete at leastÌý12 credit hours of eligible NUM subplan courses with a grade of ‘B’ or better.
    • Counting courses for the NUM subplan
      • Students can satisfy subplan requirements by counting eligible BIN and/or Elective courses towards the NUM subplan requirements. This means:
        • Students may count an eligible course towards BOTH a BIN/breadth requirement AND a NUM subplan requirement.
        • If the student does not need to count an eligible course towards the breadth/bin requirement, the course can count towards BOTH an elective requirement AND a NUM subplan requirement.
      • For example, if a student got a grade of ‘B’ or higher in CSCI 5229:
        • …and still needed to complete their Bin 1 requirement - They could count CSCI 5229 as BOTH their Bin 1 course and as a NUM subplan course.
        • …and already completed their Bin 1 requirement - they could count CSCI 5229 as BOTH an Elective course and as a NUM subplan course.
