Bachelor of Science - Computer Science

The emphasis of computer and information science is on software, the methodologies of computing, and the study of powerful programming. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science curriculum is programming intensive, supported by substantial laboratory components, and directed toward modern software development. Students’ studies are supplemented by work in specialized labs and a network of state-of-the-art workstations.

Graduates will be prepared to work in the computer industry and in business, in careers that have high growth and earning potential. They may work as a computer scientist, software engineer, software developer, database administrator, computer support specialist, or system administrator. Students will also be well-prepared to continue their studies at the graduate level.

The Computer and Information Science Department also offers a bachelor's degree in computer science with an option in software engineering: the systematic approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software systems used in business, medicine, science, engineering, entertainment, and other fields.
