Undergraduate Program
The computer science bachelors program is fully accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET,
http://www.abet.org. The program provides students with knowledge of theory, networks, operating systems, and hardware. In addition to these foundational skills, students have the opportunity to explore areas such as artificial intelligence, computer graphics, data management, security, programming languages, and many others.
Employers not only look for students who have strong technical skills, but who also understand mathematics, science, and the importance of effective communication. The BS program provides students with a solid foundation in mathematics, science, liberal arts and an opportunity to take outside electives, complimenting the strong technical core that the program offers.
The demands of industry and government require college graduates to master both the fundamentals, and the applied aspects of their profession. To meet this requirement, two applied educational experiences are woven into the program. Students are required to complete a cooperative educational experience as well as an extensive set of laboratory experiences, many as members of a team. These experiences not only strengthen a student's technical skills, but gives them the ability to communicate clearly and work effectively as part of a team.
The career outlook for computer science graduates is strong. The combination of our strong technical preparation and co-op experiences, give our graduates a leg up in industry, allowing them to join virtually any career field as a computing professional.
