Minor in Honors Computer Science and Applications

Winter Weather Campus Update

Out of an abundance of caution, Kennesaw State University will move to modified operations on Tuesday, January 21. All in-person classes will convert to remote instruction protocols determined by each instructor. Students should refer to course syllabi or D2L for details on how learning will continue during Modified Operations. All online classes will continue as scheduled. All in-person activities are cancelled. Visit kennesaw.edu/emergency for more information.

Minor in Honors Computer Science and Applications

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) to satisfy prerequisites for CS courses. Student 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.
