Computer Science B.S.

Major in Computer Science

(Major Code: 307)

The computer science curriculum is designed to provide the student with significant exposure to the theory, abstraction and design components of the field of computer science.

Program Outcomes

Students completing this curriculum will be able to demonstrate:

A system-level perspective;
An appreciation of the interplay between theory and practice;
Familiarity with common themes of computer science such as abstraction, complexity and evolutionary change; and
Adaptability to the enormous pace of change in computing.

Students will have significant project experience.

A student must complete a minimum of 121 semester credit hours to include at least 39 advanced hours.
