Course Overlap

This table lists courses with significant overlap. Thus, you may only count one of the listed courses toward any given degree. A typical situation is a 4000-level and a 5000-level course on the same topic. If you took the 4000-level course toward an undergraduate degree (here or elsewhere), you may take and count the 5000-level course toward your graduate degree here. But you may not take both courses and count them toward the same degree. There are also 5000-level and 6000-level courses that overlap, especially with older courses that are being phased out.

There are two special cases. If you took and passed CS3114 at Virginia Tech, then you may not count CS5040 toward any graduate degree. Likewise, if you took and passed CS3304, then you may not count CS5314.
