Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Computer Scientists seek approaches and methods to efficiently automate everyday jobs, create and interpret new information, and seek new applications for technology to enhance the human experience. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science prepares students through a solid core of study in the theoretical foundations of information and computation, as well as the practical techniques for implementing applications in a wide variety of computer systems. The Computer Science degree provides the flexibility to allow students to combine their skills with a wide variety of interdisciplinary interests in other fields, such as computational biology, chemistry, and art. Computer Science graduates find employment with national companies in healthcare, e-commerce, energy, logistics, and retail.

The B.S. in Computer Science Program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
