A student may pursue an M.S. with a course-only option, a project option, or a thesis option. The minimum
number of credits is 30. Three courses are required, plus an additional three courses from a restricted selection
as described in Robotics Track Courses.
Two additional elective courses at the 6000-level or higher (not including independent study, seminars, or
thesis) from any department are required. Depending on whether a student is pursuing a course-only M.S., a
project M.S., or a thesis M.S., additional 6000-level or higher courses can be chosen, this time including independent
study, seminars, and research credit, in order to reach a 30-credit minimum.

One course from each of these three areas are required:
PERCEPTION
CS 6320 3D Computer Vision
CS 6640 Image Processing
COGNITION
CS 6300 Artificial Intelligence
CS 6350 Machine Learning
ACTION

CS 6360 Virtual Reality
CS 7310 / ME 7230 Robot Mobility and Manipulation
CS 7320 / ME 7960-05 System Indentification
ME 7960-07 Haptics
Two additional 6000-level courses are required (excluding independent study, seminars, or thesis research
credit).
PhD in Computing: Robotics
A minimum of 50 credits is required, of which at least 27 credits must be graduate course work, and at least
14 credits must be dissertation research. Of the graduate course work, three are required courses, plus an
additional three courses from the restricted electives as described in Robotics Track Courses.
Two additional elective courses at the 6000-level or above (not including independent study, seminars, or
thesis) from any department are required. Remaining credits to fill the 50-credit minimum may be chosen
from other 6000-level or higher courses or from seminars or dissertation research, but not independent
study.
