user-interface design, and operating systems courses, culminating in a two-semester software development project. In addition, this degree program contains a broad spectrum of mathematics, laboratory science, and elective computer science courses to fortify the core’s foundation. The Bachelor of Arts curriculum affords students more flexibility by supplementing the same core computing curriculum with a minor in another discipline or a second major as an alternative for some of the technical courses required in the Bachelor of Science program.
Career Opportunities Computer Science is the study of information and the processing, storage, retrieval and use of information. As such, a degree in Computer Science offers career opportunities in industries as varied as computer game development to medicine and healthcare. Contrary to the stereotype of a “computer programmer,” a career in computer science usually involves extensive interaction with software development teams, as well as close collaboration with clients and colleagues from every conceivable discipline. The demand for graduates with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science remains high, with urgent needs for software engineers to keep pace with both hardware advances and the needs of business and consumers. In addition to various opportunities to participate in software development teams within the undergraduate curriculum in Computer Science, students may apply for internships and cooperative education programs with industry to accumulate some real-world experience.
