Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate Computer Science Research Recommendation

The Department of Computer Science actively encourages all departmental undergraduates to be involved in research-related activities. Generally, a student must have completed at least 9 hours of courses at level 2XXX and above, and have departmental GPA of at least 3.0 to participate in any research. However, the decision to involve a student in research always depends on the topic, the faculty, and circumstances.

We encourage the students to familiarize themselves with each faculty's research and approach those whose work is most interesting to them. A typical method of establishing contact and relationship is by taking courses with the faculty, or just by personal visits. To promote these kinds of research activities, the department has an individual research course (CmpSci 4880) which leads to credits for research-related activities. Faculty may also have funds, external, university or departmental, to pay for some activities.
