Special Projects
Computer Science 490a or b Special Projects serves two functions
in the Computer Science curriculum:
- For seniors, enrolling in CPSC 490 satisfies the senior project
requirement of the B.S. and B.A. programs.
- For underclassmen, enrolling in CPSC 490 offers an earlier
opportunity to engage in research under the
supervision of a member of the faculty while earning Yale College
credit.
Students enrolling in CPSC 490 select a
faculty advisor to guide them in research in a subfield of computer science
and submit a written report on the results. Many of these projects break new
ground, and papers with Yale undergraduate authors have been published in
leading computer science journals.
