Bachelor of Science - Computer Science (Optional Co-op)

The Computer Science department educates students in a broad range of areas. Students take courses in the design and implementation of software systems and the algorithms (problem solving techniques) used to solve “real world” problems in business, industry, and engineering or as preparation for graduate study. They are given both the depth and breadth of computer science so necessary to keep them competitive in today’s fast-changing world. While instruction and research are on the leading edge of computing, the department endeavors to promote proactive teaching practices and effective interactions between the students and faculty.

In addition to computer science courses, the computer science department’s undergraduate program requires students to be educated in a broad range of general education courses. All computer science seniors are expected to take the capstone course that gives them “real world” experience working in teams composed of fellow students.
