About the Program

 
The Computer Science program focuses on a theoretical understanding of computer science and the practical application of knowledge obtained to solve a problem. With applications in every industry, computer science is one of the most in-demand and growing fields. Graduates will be able to solve challenging, often unexplored software problems in fields such as research and development, healthcare, government, defense, telecommunications, and finance using a unique set of programming languages, tools, and problem-solving skills.

Computer Science careers include:

  • Software Developer
  • Software Engineer
  • Systems Analyst
  • Web Developer
  • Video Game Developer
Students can transfer up to 70 credits from community college toward the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program. Must have a grade of C or better in all computer science courses.
