The B.S. degree option in Computer Science is appropriate if you want to pursue a career as a computing professional or to enter graduate school. This degree option includes coursework in software design, the theory of computation, algorithms, computer systems, networks, programming languages, and software engineering. The B.S. degree option also includes required courses in mathematics and a science sequence.
Program Student Learning Outcomes:
Computer Science B.S. students will be able to:
• solve problems through analysis and implementation of tested programs that use data structures and algorithms.
• program the multiple layers (e.g., compiler, operating system, network, assembly language) between a high-level programming language and the underlying hardware.
• apply logic and mathematical proof techniques to computing problems, including computability, formal languages, and complexity of algorithms.
• evaluate ethical outcomes of professional policies, practices, and products at societal, organizational, and personal scales.
• apply, alone and in teams, responsible software engineering methodology, tools, and practices.
