Important Notes
CS majors will also complete a project as part of CPSC 490 Senior Seminar in Computer
Science (taught Spring Semester every year). By department policy that project is to be
different from your Senior Honors Project; no
double-dipping!!!
Similarly by department policy
experience gained from a co-op or internship will not count as your
Senior Honors Project.
Sixcombined credits of CPSC 497 andCPSC 498 count as one 3-credit
c.s. elective. Take both if you want to apply it to the major,
otherwise you will have to take an additional c.s. class.
