Overview

Computers represent a very prominent part of modern business and society. Many important and exciting technological developments today involve computers and computer systems. The expanding role of computer-based systems has caused a high demand for computer professionals, a situation expected to continue well into the future. Computer Science is an extremely exciting, challenging, and rewarding area of study. It incorporates an excellent combination of theoretical and intellectual content on the one hand and practical application and societal importance on the other. By some standards, this discipline is the strongest in academia today and has been for the past three decades. Computer Science is a broad and multidisciplinary field. The general focus is on the design, analysis, and use of computer hardware and software. As an academic discipline, the focus is not just on one technology, programming language, or computer architecture. Rather, grounding in fundamental concepts applicable to many environments is sought. The curriculum prepares graduates for positions in the computer industry, as well as for advanced studies and research. An undergraduate major leads to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees, an undergraduate minor, and graduate programs leading to the Master of Science degree and Doctor of Philosophy degree in computer science. The bachelor’s degree program in computer science provide graduates with the technical background necessary to use, design, analyze, and implement computer software and systems. Completion of the required University Core Curriculum and satisfaction of the School of Computing requirements is mandatory. Computer Science majors are required to take a core set of courses dealing with programming, data structures and algorithms, computer organization, operating systems, social issues of computing, and a senior project.
