Computer Science, BS

Computer Science is a field of study focused on the development and testing of software systems. It involves the analysis of problems and the development of logical procedures and mathematical models to solve those problems using languages that instruct the computer on how to execute those processes. In addition to a firm grounding in programming concepts and basic computer science theory, students are also grounded in the major associated disciplines and are given the opportunity to become familiar with various electives available in Computer Science such as networking, artificial intelligence, and database management.
