Course Guidelines for PhD Students:

• CS 3363, 3613, 3423, 4323, 4343, and 4154 cannot be put on any plan of study of a Computer Science graduate student. This means that required prerequisites and certain other courses can no longer be counted as electives toward a graduate degree in Computer Science at OSU. This may mean that it will take longer for a student for whom prerequisite courses are required to complete a graduate degree than it has taken in the past.
• For a course from any OSU department other than Computer Science to be included on a plan of study for a Computer Science graduate student, the course must carry graduate credit and be numbered 5000 or higher.
• New graduate students should not assume that any required prerequisite course will be waived just because they have passed a course with a similar name. The specification of required prerequisites is entirely at the discretion of this department, and specified prerequisites will be waived only in rare circumstances.
