CS-490: Master's Project Information
Course Description:
The completion of a large scale software project and associated
documentation or thesis. Topic for project is chosen in conjunction
with the project advisor.
Prerequisites:
30 hours of graduate credit
Project Sign-Up:
- Choose a primary faculty advisor and ask him/her to advise you on your
final project/thesis.
Ideally, your advisor's interests should intersect with your interests so that they are
able to provide you with the necessary guidance to create a project you enjoy working on. It is
a good idea to be flexible and be prepared to work with several potential advisors.

- Determining your co-advisor: If your primary advisor is not a tenure-track
faculty member (see the list of tenure-track faculty for CS below), then you need to have a co-advisor
for the Master's Project that is a tenure-track faculyt member. You need to have your
co-advisor's agreement to the project and signature prior to enrolling in CS-490.
-
Determine a project topic.
-
Go the the CS Department office and get the registration form for CS-490. Your primary
advisor will need to help you fill out this form. You can only register for Master's Projects in
the Fall and Spring semesters.
-
Download the proposal instructions and form (see Project Materials above) and create
your proposal. You will need to discuss your proposal in-depth with your primary advisor.
Note: The proposal is not a comprehensive list of what is to be accomplished for your project
- merely a broad outline/description.
-
As part of the project proposal form, make sure to sign that you understand the project
requirements.
