B.S. Computer Science
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program offers a challenging and highly rewarding course of study that provides a strong foundation in theoretical computer science as a basis for upper-level courses in areas such as operating systems, algorithm analysis, software development, and parallel systems. Students engage in a curriculum that blends computer science with a firm foundation in the sciences and mathematics, preparing them for advanced work in computer science and for computer-related careers in the industry.
Student Experience
- Because real-world experience is critical in computer science, the department offers courses in applied software development, parallel systems, and programming languages in addition to theoretical computing education courses.
- Internships are available for academic credit.
Highlights of the Curriculum
- Software Development
- Analysis of Algorithms
- Parallel Systems
