Cognate for CSE
Use toward CSE degree as CSE credit
Recommended cognate courses for CSE graduate students As part of your CSE graduate degree, you are required to take four hours of cognate credit. This is a Rackham requirement. In addition, CSE requires that cognate courses be a graduate level outside of CSE, and that the course does not include content that would otherwise be considered CSE. Graduate-level courses in other departments generally count as cognates as long as they do not significantly overlap with CSE material. Below is a list of approved courses from other departments and colleges that CSE students have used as cognates in the past. Because of the potential overlap with School of Information, we explicitly list all SI that can serve as a cognate. If a SI course is not listed below (or is listed as available for CSE credit) it cannot be used as a cognate. Courses from other departments and colleges can serve as cognates, but you must verify with the department offering the course that it is approved for Rackham graduate credit for the term you are taking it AND you must receive approval from both your academic advisor (via your plan of study, if you’re at the master’s level) and the CSE Graduate Office. Courses listed at the “doctoral level” cannot be used to fulfill any requirements for the master’s degree, per Rackham.
