This degree track provides a comprehensive study of the discipline of computer science prepares graduates for careers in highly technical fields.
Develop the tools and experience needed to thrive in this ever-evolving field.
Hands-on experience comes easily, with an environment that offers students lots of opportunities to demonstrate what they know and put their skills to work. State-of-the-art technology and dedicated computer science labs ensure that the right tools for learning are always available. Students can also tailor their learning to their goals, with opportunities for individual learning and research.
The coursework supports learning both theory and practice, investigating the philosophical underpinnings of the discipline, and providing hands-on experience with technological problem-solving.
The Computer Science program offers the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) undergraduate degrees. The Bachelor of Arts requires 12 hours of foreign language as part of the University Core, while the Bachelor of Science requires additional elective hours.
