Cross training

Here's some good news I gathered at the PhD student discussion Wednesday: I'm not limited to UMSL courses. They have an agreement with Washington U, St. Louis U, and Southern Illinois Edwardsville where grad students in any one of those programs can take one course a semester at any one of the other schools. That's going to come in real handy because the UMSL faculty doesn't have anybody working on Big Data problems. I don't think SLU does, either, but I'm sure there's research being done at WashU and SIUE. I'll need to get their course catalogs and see what they are offering on Big Data Architecture.
