Algorithms

This course addresses the design and analysis of computer algorithms. Topics include: set algorithms such as sorting and searching, graph algorithms, string algorithms, and matrix algorithms. Algorithm design paradigms, including the divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy paradigms, will be emphasized. The course will end with a discussion of the theory of NP-completeness and its implications.

Requisite: COSC 112 and COSC 211. Admission with consent of the instructor. Fall semester: Professor Rager. Spring semester: Professor Kryven.

PubHlth Approaches/SLHS

This course introduces students to public health frameworks applied to speech, language, and hearing sciences. Emphasis is placed on population health, prevention, and health equity across the lifespan. Students explore how social determinants of health influence communication outcomes, examine epidemiological trends, and compare public health and clinical approaches to intervention. Through applied readings, case studies, and campaign development, students learn to design and evaluate public health strategies to reduce communication health disparities.

Honors Thesis

Honors Thesis expectations are high. The intended end-product is a traditional research manuscript with accompanying artifact(s), all theses: - are 6 credits or more of sustained research on a single topic, typically conducted over two semesters. - begin with creative inquiry and systematic research. - include documentation of substantive scholarly endeavor. - culminate in an oral defense or other form of public presentation.

Research Practicum

This course is part of the Political Science and Legal Studies Undergraduate Research Engagement Program (UREP). When possible, student interests are paired with faculty in need of research assistance. Please visit the Political Science department website for information.

Honors Research

The Commonwealth Honors College thesis or project is intended to provide students with the opportunity to work closely with faculty members to define and carry out in-depth research or creative endeavors. It provides excellent preparation for students who intend to continue their education through graduate study or begin their professional careers. The student works closely with their 499Y Honors Research sponsor to pursue research on a topic or question of special interest to them in preparation for writing a 499T Honors Thesis or completing a 499P Honors Project.

Advanced Econometrics

This course is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in current econometric methods used in empirical economic research. At the end of the class, students will be able to conduct their own empirical research in a wide variety of applications using statistical software. The major focus areas include univariate and multivariate linear regression, functional form and equation specification, and probit and logit regression.
