Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The School of Computing and Information Science offers both the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in computer science. The required course work in computer science provides the student with an understanding of the basic areas of computer science: structure of programming languages, operating systems, software engineering, algorithms and data structures, computer architecture, and the theory of computer science. Electives allow students to study additional topics such as artificial intelligence, databases, high-performance computing, networks, and cybersecurity. Students have opportunities for field experiencesinternships, independent study, and undergraduate research in one of our laboratories. A capstone experience allows students to use their accumulated knowledge of the field in project design and implementation.Computer Science graduates are well-positioned to secure rewarding, high-paying jobs in the computer industry that are relatively immune to outsourcing. In addition, graduates can also apply their knowledge wherever computers are used, including industry and business, research institutions, educational institutions, and government laboratories and agencies. The B.S. and B.A. degrees both provide a rigorous emphasis on computer science along with a strong liberal arts education. Graduates of the School of Computing and Information Science are also well prepared to enter graduate school for further study in computer science or other related fields or, with some additional preparation, to enter a professional school.
