  1. This page lists special topics courses (i.e., 498, 798, 8x8) by semester, and for each course indicates the following:
    • Whether it is a Phd qualifying course in an area.
        [A Phd course must base its grade primarily on exams (and not on paper readings, presentations, etc).]
    • Whether it is a MS qualifying course in an area.
        [A MS course must base its grade primarily on exams (and not on paper readings, presentations, etc).]
    • Whether its exams constitute an MS comp in an area, and if so which of its exams.
        [An MS comp must be based entirely on exams (and not projects, homeworks, term papers, etc). It can be one or more of the regular exams in the course (e.g., final, midterm + final), regular exams augmented with additional questions, a separate exam, or any combination.]
    Complete criteria for Phd/MS/Comp courses
  2. Instructors offering such courses should email to the grad office the relevant information much before the start of the semester.
  3. Information for a semester is finalized when the semester starts.
  4. If a special topics course being offered is not listed here, then it does not count toward MS/Phd coursework/comps.
