The Department of Computer Science¿s honors program consists of an honors track and honors graduation requirements.
Honors Track
The department offers a special honors track to qualified students. Students in the honors track will have their progress reviewed by the honors committee and are expected to earn grades of B or better in their advanced computer science courses (300 level and above). Students who successfully complete the honors track with a grade-point average (GPA) in their computer sciences courses of at least 3.6 will automatically qualify for graduation with honors in computer science. The program offers a capstone option where the student will formulate a proposed course plan to meet honors graduation requirements, subject to the approval of the computer science honors committee.
Honors Graduation Requirements
The honors graduation requirements are:
- two units of honors credit (These are either honors sections at the 300 or 400 level in computer science, a computer science capstone project, or another program approved by the honors committee and a sponsoring faculty member. Alternatives include graduate courses in computer science or advanced honors-level courses in a related discipline such as mathematics.)
- a GPA in computer science courses of at least 3.6
