Full List of LTI Core Courses

We list below all current LTI core courses (followed by a few normally non-core courses). Courses offered only at a Master's level are listed first, followed by courses suitable for both Masters and PhD students, grouped under their "Focus" areas (the division into focus areas is only relevant for LTI PhD students).
This list includes CS department courses that count as LTI core classes (as opposed to electives). Further information about CS courses should be available from the Computer Science Department.
Depending on a student's interests, electives may be taken from the LTI, the Computer Science Department, or other CMU or Pitt departments. Students interested in speech should consider speech-oriented electives; other areas of interest include Linguistics, Statistics, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Note that the 11-791/11-792 sequence was previously called Software Engineering for Language Technology (LT), but as of Spring 99 is called Software Engineering for Information Technology (IT). LTI students will still be expected to pursue LT projects in this course sequence.

Following the focus areas we list the self-paced labs and independent studies and seminars.

A numerical listing of current LTI (11-xxx) courses is also available. This includes some non-core courses. We expect to add a few more courses in the future.

The University's list of current classes is available at the Registrar's web site.

Selected Non-Core Courses: Independent Study

Note that the Independent Study courses listed below do not normally count for LTI core credit. The exception is if an Independent Study is used to replace an unavailable LTI core course (with prior permission of the chair of the LTI graduate programs).

Here are the regular Independent Study course numbers.
Note: section letters are important! For independent study, the section letter (by default, "A") determines which faculty member is supervising your independent study. As a safety measure, "A" always means the chair of the LTI graduate programs. If the appropriate section does not exist, please ask the graduate coordinator to create it for you.

Masters students: Note that only 12 units of "Independent Study: Project" may normally count towards your total course requirements (and may not count as part of the 96-unit LTI core course requirement).

11-910 is used for Independent Study connected with a project; it is always Pass/Fail.
11-920 and 11-925 are normally given a grade; 11-925 differs from 11-920 in that 11-925 is supervised by your advisor, while 11-920 is supervised by some other faculty member.
11-930 is used for a PhD student's thesis research after the thesis proposal is accepted.
