Bachelor of Arts in Applied Computing

The Bachelor of Arts in Applied Computing at the University of Denver's Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science is designed for students who want practical computing skills and the flexibility to pursue interests beyond computer science. You'll build a foundation in programming, software development and computational problem-solving, then apply those skills in another academic area. Whether your interests connect computing with business, design, media, psychology, science or another field, Applied Computing gives you the flexibility to shape an interdisciplinary academic path.
