Our program offers a bachelor of science in the field of computer science. A concentration in computer science will familiarize students with the various areas of knowledge that make up the field. Students will develop a firm understanding of the fundamental skills and core theories that will endure the rapid technological change we experience daily. A bachelor of science in computer science, more importantly, prepares a student for graduate studies in computer science or in other fields that are strongly associated with computer science. Before registering for the first time, the student should discuss an appropriate course of study with their advisor. Each student that is accepted for the computer science bachelor's degree will be assessed. The process begins in CSC 305 Entrance Assessment, which must be taken the first semester of enrollment as a computer science major. The process concludes in CSC 405 Exit Assessment, which must be taken the final semester before graduation. This assessment is not used as an assessment of the student, but an assessment of our program. The core curriculum provides a strong foundation in computer science. CSC electives are chosen in consultation with the student’s adviser to ensure depth of knowledge in topics of particular interest to the student. CSC courses must be taken for a letter grade. While degree requirements evolve on a regular basis, students are allowed a degree of flexibility when determining their specific requirements. By default, students are held to the degree requirements specified at the time of enrollment. However, students may elect to hold themselves to a more recent set of requirements. Students are encouraged to retain the appropriate requirement-set and use it to monitor their academic progress.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program have been successful in earning advanced degrees and in pursuing careers in research and application-oriented positions in business, industry, government, and education.
