According to the degree requirements listed for all computer science graduate students, students must complete or have completed the following courses at the graduate or undergraduate level with at least a B grade or higher. Please enter the courses you have completed either at OSU or at a previous institution that you think best covers the course material. If you did not have an equivalent course, you may leave the fields blank. For the grade, you may list the grade as shown on your transcript; enter the scale if it is a numerical grade (e.g. 8/10).

Once your form is submitted, the graduate coordinator will seek the input of your major advisor and let you know if you need to take any of the required courses.

Please indicate which of the following courses you have taken. Review the course title and description, then add your equivalent course information below. Information for all OSU courses is at https://catalog.oregonstate.edu/course-search.
