The Master of Engineering Program in Computer Science allows students the freedom to design a program that enhances their knowledge in specific areas of interest. Students can augment their Computer Science requirements by taking courses outside of CS in several different areas. Browse through  Courses of Study  (the Cornell course catalog) and Course and Time Roster to see what is offered during the upcoming semester.

* Please note that although the courses below are pre-approved for CS MEng credit, some might not be available due to enrollment restrictions. If a course is not open to students outside of the offering field, please let us know and we will remove them from the list.

Below are some commonly chosen courses outside of Computer Science which have been pre-approved to count towards CS M.Eng. Degree credit.

  • If a course you are interested in is not listed below please send an e-mail to the M.Eng curriculum committee requesting a review of the course for degree credit. Please include the course description.
  • If a course is 5000 level or above and cross-listed with a CS course at the 5000 level or above it is automatically considered approved.
  • If a course is at 5000 level or above and cross-listed with a CS course below the 5000 level it will not be approved.
  • All courses outside of CS need pre-approval, if not pre-approved the course may not be counted towards degree credit.
  • No courses outside of Computer Science will be counted as a required Computer Science credit.
  • Not all of these courses are offered every year.
