The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS-CS) incorporates elements from the computer science discipline and prepares graduates for employment (e.g., software developer, computer hardware engineer, computer systems analyst, entrepreneur, information security, computer programmer, etc.) or graduate studies. The curriculum includes mathematics, programming, software design, and computer architecture as applied to existing and emerging computer system technologies. A key feature of the curriculum is its emphasis on project-oriented experiences. Students will have room in the curriculum to pursue concentrations or minors, in addition to the program and general education requirements.
Upon completing the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree, graduates will be able to:
- Analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs
- Function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal and communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- Understand relevant professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities
To earn the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree, students must complete 121 credits.
