The school offers three undergraduate degree programs. Each program
has a strong technical core that emphasizes the development of
programming and problem solving skills. The programs differ in the
junior and senior year on their
emphasis in areas outside of computer science.
-
B.S. in Computer Science
[Curriculum]:
This
technically oriented degree is well suited for students interested in
software development for
computer science, scientific and engineering applications. The
degree is accredited by the national
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Graduates
are well prepared for advanced studies in
computer science or for challenging jobs in the computer field.
-
B.S. Computer Information Systems
[Curriculum]:
In addition to core computer science courses, this degree includes
a strong emphasis area in courses selected from management, marketing,
finance, economics and accounting. Students develop a good
understanding of how information technology relates to business and
are well prepared for jobs or
advanced studies in any area of computer science.
-
B.A. in Computer Science
[Curriculum]
This liberal arts program includes a minor and
provides the student with the maximum flexibility
in designing a course of studies that supports his or her particular
interests while
at the same time providing a firm foundation in computer science.
Graduates from this program have gone on to medical school, law school,
business school, graduate programs in computer science and our own
Masters of Fine Arts in Digital Production Arts program.
Graduates also find a wide range of employment opportunities.
Course requirements for the three degrees are summarized in this
side-by-side
comparison.
