Below is the planned graduate course rotation for use when developing graduate student degree plans. Please note that pass-through students should try to only include 5XXX-level courses on their MS degree plans. If they take 6XXX-level courses, it is better to save these for the doctoral degree plan. Also, students can enter "5XXX elective" or "6XXX elective" on their degree plans for elective courses if they are unsure of what elective courses they will take.
