CS Department Student Info
Computer science undergraduate students are supported by multiple
people currently. Collectively we answer emails and meet with
students or faculty to answer questions related to
computer science undergraduate programs. Lyn, Abby and Joanne are also
points of contact for declaring a CS major/minor. See below for office hour
details. You can reach all of us at once with questions or to make
an appointment through advising -at- cs.jhu.edu. Our pronouns
are she/her/hers.
- Joanne Selinski, Director of Undergraduate Studies &
Associate Head for Education
(CS faculty)
- Lyn Doan, Sr. Academic Program Coordinator (CS staff)
- Abby Fanara, Sr. Academic Program Coordinator (CS staff)
- Kelly Barnhart, Academic Adviser (WSE staff) - on leave
through mid summer
Declared CS second majors and minors in need of CS-specific faculty
mentoring are welcome to email Prof. Joanne Selinski and
Prof. Sara More jointly with your questions or for an appointment.
Students interested in declaring a CS major or minor will
need to
- Submit a major/minor change/declaration request form
on SIS (“Registration” > “Online Forms” >
“Add a Major or Minor")
- If you are changing your first major from KSAS to WSE,
you will then need to meet with Engineering Advising to
get a new academic advisor.
- Complete a 4-year plan to demonstrate how you will
meet the requirements alongside any other majors/minors
you have using one of the
CS
major worksheets in the first section of our majors advising page,
the CS minor worksheet
- Meet with one of Joanne, Lyn or Abby
to review your plan and finalize the declaration
if approved.
Please visit the links below and to the left for information regarding
academics, courses and activities in the department. Feel free to drop by
office hours with questions or to simply chat about anything
going on.
