Computer Science

The Computer Science program is housed in the Tagliatela College of Engineering. The mission of this program is to inform, challenge, and train our diverse student body for a constantly changing world of technology.

The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Important Features

• Graduates complete a substantial, individual programming project, and acquire the skills necessary to work as part of a team.
• Real work experience is obtained, as students must complete an internship of at least 200 hours doing career-related activities approved by their advisor during their junior or senior year.
• Modern computer laboratory equipment and professional software are used in our classes. Many classes include "hands-on" activities.
• To keep abreast of advancing technology, new courses are continually being developed.
• All courses are taught by highly qualified faculty members with advanced degrees, and not by student teaching assistants. All regular CS faculty members hold Ph.D.s.
• An A.S. degree is offered that is designed for those who wish to enter the job market quickly, although it is generally considered a stepping stone on the way to completion of the B.S. program.
