Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Language and Systems

Prepare for graduate studies or for very technical positions working with operating systems, compilers, integrated development environments, and other system software.

Students are required to take a course in which they put to practical use what they have learned.

This may be accomplished using team projects in a single three-credit course, but we encourage students to consider taking a six- to eight-month paid internship to get the true flavor of applying their computing knowledge to industry.

Students are also required to take a minor in mathematics and take multiple senior-level computer science courses.

Official transcripts from a high school or other secondary school in English are required for all students. If you wish to transfer credits from another college or university, make sure to indicate that you are a transfer student on the application and forward your college transcripts, also. You will receive an evaluation of your credits during Orientation. IUP is able to offer admission to students at varying levels of academic achievement and preparation.
