300-level CTI Electives (2) chosen in consultation with student's advisor.
Open Electives (6)
Liberal Studies (2) - Consider CTI courses for Liberal Studies.

Open Electives

Open Electives may be taken from any department or program. These are the only courses that may be taken under the pass/fail option (see the undergraduate Bulletin for details). If you wish to pursue a minor, most minor field courses will be credited as open electives.

Note: Grades for all courses in the students major (i.e. non-Liberal Studies and non-Open Elective) must be 'C' or better. Grades of 'C-' may be accepted provided the overall grade point average in the major is 2.0 or better.

BS in CS Honors SE Concentration

Software Engineering Honors Concentration

The Honors Software Engineering (HSE) concentration has been designed for students who are interested in studying advanced software development techniques and technologies. Because of its advanced nature, much of this material is normally accessible only to graduate students. It is therefore only available to students with a strong academic background. Furthermore, students must apply for admission to the program.

Students should apply for the HSE concentration by the end of the winter quarter of their sophomore year, and will be notified of their acceptance (pending completion of requirements) in the spring quarter. Progress will be reviewed at the end of the third year to determine eligibility for continuing to the fourth year. Review is automatic for all students, but students may opt out of review and voluntarily change to another concentration.

In addition to the Nineteen (19) Liberal Studies courses (see above) required for all concentrations, the following courses are also required. Note that the grouping of courses into First-Year, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior courses is a recommendation only. See your advisor for help in choosing your classes. Also, note that courses designated First-Year, and Sophomore, would usually be completed before admission to the concentration.

Please note: IN this concentration, you will take undergraduate sections of the graduate courses listed below. This means that you will attend the graduate course but you will get undergraduate credit for it and it will have an undergraduate course number. Your advisor must enroll you in these special courses. All other courses you may enroll in as per normal DePaul University procedures.
