Graduate Level Variable Title Courses - Department of Computer Science - Purdue University Skip to main content

Graduate Level Variable Title Courses

Beginning in Fall 2021, Computer Science graduate level variable title courses will be offered as described below.  CS graduate seminars allow students to explore new and cutting edge topics that are not part of the regular curriculum. Students are encouraged to broaden their knowledge via these courses. The guidelines regarding inclusion on your formal Graduate School Plan of Study are below.

  • CS 59000*** (Individual Study Course) - will be used exclusively for Individual Study offerings.
  • CS 59200 (Seminar Course) - is a course that deviates from a traditional course structure by emphasizing student presentations and projects over lectures, assignments, and exams.
    • Course offerings are reviewed each semester to determine if they will be permitted on a PhD plan of study or as an MS plan elective
    • Use regular registration to enroll in these courses.
  • CS 59300 (Traditional Course) - will be used for topics not currently covered in the CS graduate curriculum. Each offering follows a traditional course structure with textbook(s), assignments, exams, and week-by-week content synopsis described in a syllabus. A CS 59300 offering does not imply that a course is intended to become, or will become, a regular course in the CS graduate curriculum.
    • Course offerings are reviewed each semester to determine if they will be permitted on a PhD plan of study or as an MS plan elective.
    • Use regular registration to enroll in these courses
