Course Descriptions
The following is a listing of all courses available through WPI's graduate science, engineering and management programs. The Registrar's website has a full list of graduate courses currently offered. This schedule, available through the Registrar's Office, is subject to change, and registrants should consult the final schedule before completing any registration forms. If there is sufficient interest in a course not scheduled for a particular semester, WPI will consider offering the course. All course offerings are subject to a minimum enrollment.
Most evening courses meet one evening per week; where noted, a twilight course may meet twice each week for a semester.
Thesis, project or directed research is available in degree programs. Special topics courses or independent study are not always listed since they are on an as-arranged basis which must be made prior to registration.
The number of courses offered each year may be limited in some disciplines; the schedule of courses over a period of time generally allows a student taking four courses per semester to complete degree requirements for the master's degree in about two years and students taking two courses per semester to complete requirements in three to four years.
All courses are 3 credits unless otherwise noted.
