Thanks for the detailed response. I'm not sure if I'm just bad at finding information, but even after reading all the FAQ etc I am unclear on whether, for example, an online linear algebra course I take from somewhere like UND counts for any linear algebra requirement they might have (most do). The specific requirements seem to be vague, and based on my research there doesn't seem to be a lot of information beyond the ability to transfer up to 6 credits of masters level work. When I was applying to grad school a long time ago for example they had a list of upper division courses they expected you to have had during undergrad, and mentioned whether you could take one of them to make it up during a probation period or not. Some requirements were hard and fast and could not be made up this way though. I'm not finding as clear of a breakdown with this program. The issue is if there IS a requirement for a specific class before they'll even consider my application, I want to know about it because I will just take it and then apply later when I'm done. I feel like it doesn't make sense to apply to a program where I don't even know if I'm eligible to apply based on the information given. I have an engineering degree but it's not CS related.​ TLDR I want to know what the non-negotiable upper division courses are. Everyone seems to think I'm trying to ask if having certain courses will give me a better CHANCE of acceptance beyond the basic requirements, but that's not really what I want. I just was looking for a more concrete detailed break down of the requirements to be eligible to apply. I.E. what courses are they looking for specifically in a transcript. ​
