Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering

Software engineers design, develop, test and maintain software systems, and enjoy many opportunities for challenging and engaging work. As industry needs continue to increase, the demand for well-trained graduates is high. The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering program prepares graduates to work in this ever-expanding field with a foundational curriculum in computer science, and courses in software engineering focused on artificial intelligence, web applications, architecture, and other areas.Students in the program gain deep and relevant experience through project-based learning, competency-based assessments, and other innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Students also develop important soft skills requested by industry including emotional intelligence, effective communication, critical thinking, collaboration, cultural awareness, and self-directed learning. Through active engagement with advisors and faculty mentors, students receive meaningful academic guidance and strong career preparation.

To earn a degree, students must complete at least 120 credits, though the exact number varies based on the chosen degree and concentration program. They must fulfill the General Education Program requirements, along with any additional degree and concentration-specific requirements. A minimum number of upper-division credits (300-level or above) is also necessary, with variations across academic units and programs, so students should refer to the specific requirements of their college or school—including the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education, the College of Health Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Management, or the College of Innovation and Technology—as well as their intended concentration program. Additionally, students must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.0, though some programs require a higher GPA for completion
