Computer Science Honors

The student who completes the honors requirments in Computer Science below will be awarded a degree “with honors in computer science.”

• Cumulative GPA of 3.50 in all major (CSC) courses; and
• Completion of an honors thesis on a topic in computer science chosen in consultation with a faculty member who acts as the student’s major advisor on the thesis. A committee of three faculty members judges the thesis. The thesis is ordinarily completed during the senior year and the student must earn at least a “B” or better in the thesis.
