CYBER SECURITY ENGINEERING BS 2017-2018 Draft CONTACT INFORMATION Honors College Advisor: Richard Todd Stafford (rstaffo2@gmu.edu) Department Program Director: Peggy Brouse (pbrouse@gmu.edu) Department Advisor: Catherine Courtney (ccourtn4@gmu.edu) Once students begin attending Mason and declare a major they should see both their major department advisor for advising. Students must confirm their major requirements with their department advisor and with DegreeWork s Degree Evaluation. Honors College advisors are available to help with a variety of other advising tasks, including help with the Honors College curriculum, changing majors, identifying and declaring minors, identifying and selecting high-impact experiences unavailable within the major (including interdisciplinary research, some internships, service learning, etc.). Note for students in the Volgenau School: Students who get a warning that they will be terminated from the Volgenau School for GPA have one semester to either (1) meet the department s requirements, or (2) change major; otherwise, they will have the Terminated from Volgenau designation placed on their transcript. Courses required for the CYSE major may only be retaken once without departmental approval.

Students may also elect to take HNRS 108: Research Methods (3 credits) in their first semester. Students who take HNRS 108 must take HNRS 109 (3 credits) in their second semester and will need to coordinate with their major advisor to adjust their second semester schedules to reflect this. The HNRS 108/109 sequence offers a less compressed first year research experience with additional writing support. 2. The Honors sections of these courses can be used to satisfy Honors College Requirement 3. 3. Honors College seminars are topical, with each section focusing on a different topic. Descriptions of each section are posted before registration at https://honorscollege.gmu.edu/academics/courses 4. College requirements (VS) include 24 credits of department-approved, humanities and social science electives. 5. Students must complete each CYSE, ENGR, CS, MATH, PHYS and STAT course presented as part of the required 127 credits for the degree with a grade of C or better. 6. Students must also complete any course required by the program that is a prerequisite to another course applicable to the degree with a grade of C or better. HONORS REQUIREMENTS (see https://honorscollege.gmu.edu/academics/curriculum for further details) Honors College students complete HNRS 108/109 or 110, HNRS 122, HNRS 131 or 230, HNRS 240, and HNRS 353. Honors College students complete Requirement 3 (Advanced Topics) by taking two additional Honors courses beyond Requirements 1 and 2 of the Honors College Curriculum.
