Athens State University :: College of Arts & Sciences

The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science provides students with a strong foundation in programming, problem analysis, problem solving, and software engineering, significantly supplemented with practical experience using hardware and software resources available in contemporary computer laboratories maintained by the Department.

There are three Computer Science degree options:

Computer Science (CS option)
Computer Information Systems (CIS Option)
Computer Networking (CN Option)

The CS curriculum is designed to prepare students for business and industry or graduate school.

The CIS option provides students with a foundation in business and information systems to complement the core requirements in problem solving and programming in a business environment. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare the student for industry as a technically oriented member of an information systems development team.

The CN option focuses on the technical aspects of computer networking. The combination of the CN option and the structured programming features found in both the CS and CIS curricula should enable a student to be well prepared and competitive in business and industry.
