*Besides the courses listed above, graduate courses from other departments that have relevance to computer science or the student’s research area can be counted in the interdisciplinary area. If a student wishes to count such as course towards their Comprehensive Course Requirement, then their research supervisor adjudicates on whether it should qualify; if so, the supervisor should write a short (typically 2-3 sentence) rationale to be sent along with the CCR.
