How Can We Help?
If you want to take courses that are not in the approved METALS elective list, you must email metals-help@lists.andrew.cmu.edu with the following details:
- Course Number and Title
- Fulfillment request: Technology, Learning Sciences Theory & Instructional Design, Methods & Design, or General Elective
- Course Description
- Course Syllabus (if available)
- Reason you want to take this course; how it relates to learning science and your career plan
We will check with the Program Director and let you know if the course is approved or not. Taking unapproved electives will not count towards your degree.
To graduate, keep in mind that:
- You need to fulfill your distribution requirement for your electives.
- All courses must be at the graduate level (XX600 or higher to count towards your degree).
- 6-unit courses count as half of a course. 9-unit or more courses count as a full course.
- Taking undergraduate courses will not count towards your degree.
