If any course cannot be located readily, refer to the index. Courses are numbered as follows: Undergraduate Courses (1 to 399): General courses accepted in fulfillment of requirements for the bachelor's degrees.
Independent Studies 296, 496. 1-18 credits. Creative projects, including research and design, that are supervised on an individual basis and that fall outside the scope of formal courses. A specific title may be used in each instance and will be entered on the student's transcript.
Formal courses given infrequently to explore, in depth, a comparatively narrow subject that may be topical or of special interest. Several different topics may be taught in one year or semester. A specific title may be used in each instance and will be entered on the student's transcript.
Research Project Courses 294, 494. 1-12 credits. Supervised student activities on research projects identified on an individual or small-group basis. A specific title may be used in each instance and will be entered on the student's transcript.
A department may schedule an entire section in an undergraduate course for fewer credits than the maximum authorized. In 400-level courses, a department may schedule an individual student for fewer credits than the maximum authorized.
Some courses are designated as repeatable; they may be taken more than once for credit.These courses may be repeated indefinitely unless the department stipulates a maximum number of credits allowed. These courses appear with the maximum number of credits allowed following the number of credits for the course--for example (1.5 credits/maximum of 3).

Introduction to Computer Programming is the first course in our series introducing students to computer science. In this class you will learn the fundamentals of computer programming in Java, with emphasis on applications in science and engineering. You will also learn about the broader field of computer science and algorithmic thinking, the fundamental approach that computer scientists take to solving problems.
What are the basic mathematical concepts and techniques needed in computer science? This course provides an introduction to proof principles and logics, functions and relations, induction principles, combinatorics and graph theory, as well as a rigorous grounding in writing and reading mathematical proofs.
The duration of the project is two semesters. To enroll in CIS 410, students must develop an abstract of the proposed work, and a member of the CIS graduate group must certify that the work is suitable and agree to supervise the project; a second member must agree to serve as a reader.
The goal of a Senior Thesis project is to complete a major research project under the supervision of a faculty member. The duration of the project is two semesters. To enroll in CIS 410, students must develop an abstract of the proposed work, and a member of the CIS graduate group must certify that the work is suitable and agree to supervise the project; a second member must agree to serve as a reader. At the end of the first semester, students must submit an intermediate report; if the supervisor and reader accept it, they can enroll in CIS 411.

Based on the date when the email was sent, you will have seven (7) days to build a preliminary course schedule. After seven (7) days, the “New Student Orientation” hold will be replaced. All future changes to your schedule will occur during orientation in consultation with an academic adviser. Here are some items that might be helpful as you build your schedule: Your Penn State Email
In LionPATH, click on “Class Search” at the top of the Quick Links bar on the right side of your screen. Use the results from the Balanced Schedule Tool to find your classes. If you need assistance using LionPATH, this tool may help you . “What if a class I need is full?”

If a class is full and it is one of your required classes, you will be able to talk with an academic adviser at orientation about the best options to complete your schedule. If it is a General Education class that is full, look for other course options within that same General Education “Knowledge Domain” ...
Included in your “To Do” list in LionPATH may be the “Pre-Registration Activity Guide”. You will need to complete this before you are able to schedule any classes. If you have already completed this, there is no need to complete again. Once you have successfully completed this item, it will disappear from your To Do list. Use Class Search
The University Libraries is committed to supporting teaching and learning in a variety of contexts and environments. Part of this commitment includes offering access to and supporting your use of e-books and other course materials. The information here is designed to get you started with e-books (and other course materials) and offer you some guidance on searching for, accessing, and using these resources. We've put together a comprehensive set of resources in the form of FAQs for both students and faculty.
There is a lot of research in this area and while initial studies did show that students retained information better from print resources, more recent research has focused on the idea that print and e-books have different constraints and affordances. They have different functions and if you find yourself using e-books for the first time, familiarize yourself with the e-book features and see how you can adopt it into your workflow and study habits.
The Libraries have subscriptions to a significant set of streaming audio options for Penn State users . Please contact your liaison librarian or the Libraries’ Music & Media Center for help determining if the audio or video content you need for teaching is available through the Libraries. If it is not, the Libraries may be able to purchase streaming access for additional media.
Instructors are also advised to submit e-reserve requests so that the Libraries can accurately post those materials via e-reserves .
