Computing Science Honors

The honors program is similar to the Major, but requires some additional requirements to gain the "honors" designation:

• A minimum overall grade point average of 3.00
• Additional computing breadth and depth requirements to bring the total number of units required to graduate to 132 (as opposed to the usual 120 units needed for the major).

Whether you plan on attending graduate school or entering the workforce after graduation, you will be well prepared to face the challenges that lie before you. The honors designation, although not necessary for graduate school application, shows that you are serious and committed to your studies and have a deeper and broader understanding of Computing Science.

In addition, our honor students can take advantage of our co-operative education program which allows students to gain valuable, career-related, paid work experience. Over 85% of our co-op students find work with one of their previous co-op employers after graduation.

With access to a wide variety of potential employers, ranging from video game development studios to cancer research labs to multi-national telecommunications companies, our computing science graduates are well prepared for life-long learning in this dynamic and evolving discipline.
