Computer Science
Bachelor of Science
The Computer Science program involves the study of the theoretical and practical aspects of computer technology and computer usage. The goal of this computer science program is to equip the graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful software engineers. We do this by providing students with increasingly deep practical experience in tools and techniques used in software engineering.
About the Program
Graduates of the BSCS program will have the knowledge and skills needed to be successful computing professionals or to pursue graduate studies. By completing coursework and projects, they gain hands-on experiences in the profession and workplace. Successful completion of a senior project is a first step toward professional competency and developing expertise in their field of choice.
Due to the multi-faceted applications of computing, the major also incorporates learning experiences that are multidisciplinary in nature. These are acquired through various course assignments of real-world projects utilizing commensurate set of tools and techniques of computer science. The experiences and skills accumulated thereby should prepare the student to complete a senior project.
