400-Level Courses That May Be Applied Toward Graduate Credit

Students in the Computer Science graduate program at Penn State Harrisburg must take at least 21 or 24 (depending on the option) of the required 30 graduate credits at the 500 level. Certain 400-level courses may be counted toward the remaining hours, provided the student has not already taken a similar course elsewhere. These courses include:

• Computer Science Courses
  • CMPSC 438: Computer Network Architecture and Programming
  • CMPSC 441: Artificial Intelligence
  • CMPSC 444: Secure Programming
  • CMPSC 445: Applied Machine Learning in Data Science
  • CMPSC 446: Data Mining
  • CMPSC 455: Numerical Analysis I
  • CMPSC 457: Computer Graphics Algorithms
  • CMPSC 460: Principles of Programming Languages
  • CMPSC 470: Compiler Construction
  • CMPSC 475: Mobile Applications Programming
  • CMPSC 487W: Software Engineering and Design
  • CMPSC 497: Special Topics (This course may or may not count toward graduate credit; it depends on the specific topic)

• Mathematical Science Courses
  • MATH 412: Fourier Series and Partial Differential Equations
  • MATH 425: Introduction to Operations Research
  • MATH 435: Basic Abstract Algebra
  • MATH 431: Linear Algebra and Discrete Models II
  • MATH 448: Mathematics of Finance
  • MATH 450: Mathematical Modeling
  • MATH 455: Introduction to Numerical Analysis I
  • MATH 465: Number Theory
  • MATH 468: Mathematical Coding Theory
  • MATH 485: Graph Theory
  • MATH 497: Special Topics

Both the graduate coordinator and the student's academic advisor must provide approval before 400-level courses not listed above may be applied toward credit in the Computer Science graduate degree program.
