Program Description
Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Unlike electrical and computer engineers, computer scientists focus on software including their theory, design, development, and application. Our Computer Science program provides students with in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of computer science, including programming logic and algorithm design, software development using a variety of major modern languages, database systems, software engineering principles and methodologies, and security principles and methods. The program prepares students for both entry-level career opportunities and transfer opportunities to four-year universities. Students take core computer classes as well as the general education requirements and mathematics courses commonly required in Computer Science Bachelor degrees.
