Students will typically start with some core courses in object-oriented programming, data structures and system programming, while also taking classes in math and science. (A UB grad working at YouTube said she still uses what she learned in her core classes every day.) In their junior and senior years, students will take more courses in programming languages, artificial intelligence, operating systems and related subjects—plus electives that let them explore networking and other interests—as they continue to strengthen their skills in communication and teamwork.
