The School of Engineering Technology and Computer Science offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.

This degree program presents the core principles of the science of computing. We offer both theory and application courses designed to equip our graduates with the skills needed for careers in industry, business, government, academia, and research.  Our emphasis is on equipping students with enhanced problem solving skills required for handling a variety of real world problems. Our graduates will have a solid grasp of programming skills for solving those problems.

We offer courses from diverse areas of computer science. Our core classes cover programming principles, programming paradigms, data structures, operating systems, algorithms, computer architecture, data bases, theory of computation, and more. Elective computer science courses, such as data communications and networking, numerical programming, and games programming, allow students to pursue particular areas of interest. We will continue to diversify our courses to meet the future needs and challenges of this rapidly changing field. 

Employers want college hires to be effective problem solvers and to possess collaboration and communication skills. In addition to technical problem solving, our graduates will demonstrate the ability to collaborate and communicate. Our objectives are to equip graduates with the technical skills and programming experience needed for 1) a successful career and/or 2) further training in advanced degree programs.

Educational Objectives:

•  BSC Computer science graduates are competitively employable in the computing industry.
• Our graduates have a path to graduate level education in computer science if they so choose.

Program Outcomes:

• Students identify, analyze, and solve problems through individual and team research; students utilize system software, applications tools, and other computer resources.
