Bachelor of Science - Computer Science - General

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program will help students develop the strong foundation in mathematics and computing they need to enter this high-demand, ever-evolving field. They will tap into their aptitude for problem-solving, hone their ability to think in the abstract, and develop the design skills to solve problems.

As a computer science major students will: • Develop the ability to analyze a problem, then identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution, • Learn to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based process, system, component, or program to meet specific needs, • Apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems, • Become proficient in computer hardware, software, and theory, as defined by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) curriculum guidelines, • Learn to work effectively in a variety of contexts, using various languages, systems, and environments, • Begin to build leadership skills that will help them quickly advance their career, • Gain hands-on experience through an internship or co-op and an individual programming project, • Work with cutting-edge technology in state-of-the-art laboratories • Be prepared to enter one of the most in-demand career fields in the country, • Establish the skills they need to be a lifelong independent learner, a requirement for this evolving field.
