The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is intended to teach students how to understand, design and build complex computer software systems. Foundational coursework and materials explain the theories and practices of programming and designing software. Students learn to understand how the underlying operating and networking systems interact with local and remote information sources to solve complex problems. Computer science offers a foundation that enables graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas over their lifetime.

Graduates of the computer science program have careers in developing, managing and building software in a variety of industries, including finance, health care, entertainment, telecommunications and manufacturing.

The Robotics and Embedded Systems concentration prepares students to work with devices that combine hardware and software. Such devices include robots and most high tech mechanical devices like cars, planes, farm equipment and construction equipment.
