Your major in computer science will encompass sofware experience to prepare you to develop the compilers and operating systems of the future, hardware experience to design the next generation computer chips in Silicon Valley and theoretical studies to advance into research in academia. Over half of your coursework involves computer science sofware and hardware, mathematics and the natural sciences, leaving time and fexibility to explore your specifc interests. Imagine yourself in elective courses such as Computer Organization, Embedded Systems, Programming Language Concepts, Sofware Engineering, Operating Systems Principles, Database Systems,High-performance Computing and many more. Our program also offers a specialized focus in one of four areas: artificial intelligence foundations informatics networking & high-end computing Plus, you can minor in Mathematics taking only one additional course along with those required for the major.

Career opportunities in computer science are wide open, allowing you to find positions in areas of specific interest to you. You’re building technological tools to make the technology we use now – and will in the future – work better. You are a problem solver, writing software to make computers accomplish tasks, or creating applications for mobile devices, program software, websites, etc. You can design new technologies for existing or new devices, solving society’s needs for data and more efficient communication and infrastructure.
