Computer Science

The degree programs in Computer Science provide 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 two Computer Science pathways: Computer Science, and Computer Science with a Concentration in Information Security. The Computer Science major curriculum is designed to prepare students for business and industry or graduate school. The curriculum for the Computer Science major with a Concentration in Information Security provides students with the knowledge of technologies and methods to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and the computing devices that store information. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare students to be able to demonstrate understanding of information assurance issues, and have the skills to solve problems related to computer programming, computer networking, and information security.
