Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science
The computer science major includes a required core curriculum, as recommended by standard professional societies, providing a solid base of knowledge about computer science. In addition, elective courses can be chosen from a variety of possible topics, providing flexibility in matching an individual's interests. The major provides preparation for graduate study or for career placement in computer science or related fields.
Honors in computer science recognizes excellent overall scholarship and the successful completion of an honors-level capstone experience. Candidates need departmental approval based on computer science maturity, creativity, and the ability to do independent work in order to register for the honors course (312-49300). Final approval for honors is decided by department vote.
