The program in computer science leading to a Bachelor of Science degree prepares students for a productive career in industry, and for graduate study in computer science. The program prepares the students for a productive career in industry by providing them with the technical skills to formulate suitable abstractions, create novel computational solutions, design complex systems, and improve on existing solutions integrating current and emerging technologies. The program prepares the students for lifelong learning and graduate school by providing them with the theoretical foundations of information and computation and exposing them to areas of current and future developments. The program also includes a strong professional component for the development of skills in technical communication, ethics, and team work. The BSE in Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

In the course of their careers, graduates of the Computer Science program will: Work productively in the creation, maintenance, and improvement of computing systems. Remain current in their profession through lifelong learning, including graduate school. Exhibit leadership and exercise their profession with the highest level of ethics, and social responsibility.
