Computer Science Undergraduate Programs

Both B.S. and B.A. degrees in Computer Science are offered. Each curriculum is designed to provide a broad introduction to the fundamentals of computer science including software and systems, programming languages, machine architecture, and theoretical foundations of computing. The required mathematics preparation provides a basis for advanced work. A minor degree in computer science is also available.

Undergraduate Degrees

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: Recommended for students who want to pursue technically focused careers or graduate school.
Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science: Less math intensive program for students focusing on business careers.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering: Co-sponsored with the College of Engineering.
International Computer Science Program: Five-year, dual-degree, B.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in German, French, or Spanish.
Minor in Computer Forensics: An interdisciplinary, minor program of study that integrates courses, research practica, and internships related to the theory and practice of Forensic Science.
Minor in Computer Science: For students majoring in other areas, but wishing to have a solid background in Computer Science.
