  • CSCI 6970: Professional Project

    3.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    Active participation in a semester-long project, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. A Professional Project often serves as a culminating experience for a Professional Master's program but, with departmental or school approval, can be used to fulfill other program requirements. With approval, students may register for more than one Professional Project. Professional Projects must result in documentation established by each department or school, but are not submitted to the Graduate School and are not archived in the library. Grades of A, B,C, or F are assigned by the faculty adviser at the end of the semester. If not completed on time, a formal Incomplete grademay be assigned by the faculty adviser, listing the work remaining to be completed and the time limit for completing this work.

    1.00 - 9.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    Active participation in a master's-level project under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's project report. Grades of IP are assigned until the master's project has been approved by the faculty adviser. If recommended by the adviser, the master's project may be accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in the Library. Grades will then be listed as Credit Hours: 1 to 9
