Computer Science majors at Lewis have opportunities to learn every aspect of today's most influential field. Whether your interest is software development, cyber security, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, or video game programming, you can learn it at Lewis and position yourself for a great career in which you will shape the future.Computer Science concerns the design, development, and application of systems that process data. Computer scientists concern themselves primarily, but not exclusively, with the software sides of such systems. Modern software applications must run securely, reliably, and on a great variety of platforms. Computer scientists employ their deep knowledge of programming, data structures, and algorithms to analyze, collect, secure, and communicate data.Computer Science is a broad field, but it starts from a shared, deep understanding of mathematics, algorithms, data structures, and programming languages. With this foundation in place, Computer Science students can then focus on specific applications that find wide-ranging purpose in industry and society.Although graduate study is not required for computer scientists to find meaningful, well-paying work, a graduate degree can certainly open doors to exciting opportunities. To that end, Lewis offers three Fast Track programs that enable students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a graduate degree in Information Security, Data Science or Computer Science in just five years. Students may apply for a Fast Track program in the semester in which they will have completed 90 or more credit hours.
