Below, you will find the things you need to know about how Honors in the Major works in your department.

• The goal is to get the best and brightest undergraduate students involved in research group activities. There are three specific goals involved: (1) Introduce students to the research process; (2) Familiarize and immerse students in a specific research area; (3) Encourage and prepare these students for graduate work. There is no requirement for a thesis or project for any undergraduate major in the Computer Science department. Honors in the Major goes above and beyond usual expectations.
• The course you register for, for Honors Thesis credit, is CIS4933r, Honors Work.

• Grading of work in progress is up to the discretion of the Thesis Director.
• There are no requirements beyond successful completion of the Honors Thesis for graduation With Honors in Computer Science.
• There are several research laboratories in the Computer Science Department that provide an ideal environment for undergraduate research. Check 'Research' from www.cs.fsu.edu.
