The purpose of Departmental Honors is to provide honors students a unique opportunity to do advanced, indepth study and research within their major academic disciplines. It is expected that all students will complete a thesis, portfolio of creative works, or major research project under the guidance of a faculty member or committee of faculty.
The following is identical to what is published by the Calhoun Honors College.
Departmental Honors in Computer Science requires the following
sequence of courses totaling 7-8 credit hours:
CPSC H3950 Honors Seminar (up to two
semesters – one is required) (1 credit hour)
CPSC H4950 Senior Honors Research for
a total of six credit hours over a period of two semesters
(typically you would sign up for 3 credit hours)
The Departmental Honors program in Computer Science consists of a
junior-year honors seminar and a senior-year honors thesis. In each
semester of the junior year honors students must take CPSC H3950, a
one-credit course designed to introduce students to the research
interests of the faculty and to suggest possible topics for the
senior thesis. By the end of the second semester of CPSC H3950 the
student is expected to have chosen a thesis topic and a research
advisor.
After completing the junior honors seminar, the student will
complete an honors thesis while enrolled in two semesters of CPSC
H4950 for a total of six credits. Upon completion of the written
thesis, the student is expected to make a presentation to an open
seminar attended by Computer Science faculty and honors
students.
