Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science

Then welcome to computer science, where you can learn how developers build billion-dollar apps, use artificial intelligence to address climate change, and protect computer systems from cyber attacks. As one student put it, UB's computer science program is for people who like logic and theory, but also want the "practicality and applicability" of being a developer or programmer.What will I learnYou'll 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 your junior and senior years, you’ll take more courses in programming languages, artificial intelligence, operating systems and related subjects—plus electives that let you explore networking and other interests—as you continue to strengthen your skills in communication and teamwork.
