About Bachelor of Computer Science

Choose Your Program of Study

We offer two programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Both options will prepare you to attend graduate school or to pursue career opportunities in computer science or closely related areas.

Both options follow the systems-based approach set forth by the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society for undergraduate degree programs in computer science.

2 Tracks

Option 1 (Sytems Option), which is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), contains more thorough coverage of concepts in operating systems, scientific computing, and has more elective credit hours in upper-level computer science courses to allow you the flexibility to explore additional advanced topics.

Option 2 is designed to give you a sound background in computer science and the opportunity for in-depth study of a computer science application area.

Knowledge of mathematical, algorithmic, and computing principles appropriate to the design and implementation of computer-based systems

Ability to apply analysis, design, development, and testing principles in the construction of software systems

Ability to function effectively on a software development team and to communicate effectively on technical subject matters

Recognition of the value of continued professional development, as evidenced by the ability to acquire and use appropriate techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice

Understanding of professional, ethical, legal, and security issues and responsibilities, and the societal impact of computing
