Computer Science

Undergraduate Non Degree

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The program in computer science is designed to provide students a strong theoretical and practical background in computer science within the liberal arts tradition. The goal of the program is to lead students to appreciate the intellectual depth of the theory of the discipline as well as to empower them to apply this knowledge in the analysis and solution of specific problems. Software methodology and basic architecture of computer hardware as well as the social, ethical, and professional issues related to computer science will be examined. Leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, the program provides a strong foundation in computing science that will prepare students to continue in a graduate program or to gain employment as a computer professional. Students from a variety of majors are encouraged to choose computer science courses that will enhance their competency and complement their major fields of study.
