Computer Science (Computer Programming Concentration) Program Information

Bachelor of Science

Computer science is an essential part of our lives. From smartphones to autonomous vehicles, the computer-enabled objects around us shape the way we communicate, travel, work and play. Computer scientists, sometimes called computer programmers, are professionals who work closely with software developers and engineers to apply logic, creative thinking and analytical skills to write, test, debug, modify and maintain the codes that computers use to function. Computer scientists invent the future by developing the architectures, applications and techniques for advanced computing systems. Computer scientists work across all industries, including finance/banking, consulting, manufacturing, health care and medicine, government agencies, automotive, aerospace and education. Due to constant advances in technology, computer scientists need to stay current with the latest trends such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and virtual and augmented reality. Graduates of the program can continue their education with a Master of Science in Information Systems.
