 **Crosslists

 **Course Content+

Old information with changes:

390. Special Projects (1/4-1). Individual, guided investigation of a problem or topic in computer science. Since such investigation is important to the development of maturity in computer science, the department encourages majors in computer science to do at least one such project. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing

Rationale for change:

With the new capstone experience in CSCI 381, we no longer feel that most students should be encouraged to do a special project. We will continue to support this option for special research with faculty in the department for appropriate students.
