Program Description

The Honors Computer Science Minor is designed to provide a credential to high-achieving Honors students seeking to develop a strong proficiency in data structures, computer architecture, and algorithm analysis. Students may need to take MATH 1113 , MATH 1190 , and (MATH 2345  or CSE 2300 ) in order to satisfy prerequisites for CS courses. Students must earn a “B” or higher in CSE 1321 , CSE 1321L , CSE 1322 , and CSE 1322L , and a “C” or higher in all remaining courses for the minor. Completing these requirements provides a strong foundation in computer science. Students who complete this minor will be eligible to apply for the Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) at KSU without taking any additional fundamental courses.

*If a student enrolled in this minor at any point becomes ineligible for the University Honors Program, the student will no longer be eligible to continue the Honors Computer Science and Applications Minor.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to: 

1. Describe the foundations of Computer Science.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements.
3. Generate new research projects in Computer Science.
4. Apply interdisciplinary knowledge to relevant problems.
