Highly qualified majors are invited by the department chair to apply for admission to the Honors program. Students not invited may petition the department chair to enter the Honors program. To be graduated with a designation of “Honors in Computer Science,” students must satisfactorily complete a senior Honors report and graduate with a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 in all college work. The Honors designation does not carry academic credit. Rather, it is intended as a special project that reflects the student's ability to go above and beyond the usual course work and carries significant prestige for graduation. The Honors designation appears on the student's transcript.
