Computer Science and Information Systems
Courses | Requirements | Faculty | Department

Overview:
            Computer Science and Information Systems majors will be equipped with a solid competence in the discipline with the completion of their degree. The programs encompass the theoretical and practical aspects of computational machinery, data and algorithm design, and information management.. Each program is  dedicated to preparing students in conceptual foundations of the discipline, while taking advantage of the rapidly changing nature of technology. Degrees offered in these majors are:
Bachelor of Arts:
  • Computer Science
Bachelor of Science:
  • Information Systems
 
Distinctive:
            Students involved with the Computer Science and Information Systems majors are equipped to be analytical thinkers and excellent real-world problem solvers. They have sharpened communication skills and are well versed in the breadth and depth of the discipline, while emphasizing theory, abstraction, and design.
            The major aim of these programs is to prepare students as technologists rather than training them to be technicians. The programs are focused on providing an intellectual understanding of a subject that will create the appropriate foundations for the life-long learning process necessary to be successful in a competitive environment. Other unique aspects of these programs include:
  • In addition to the two majors available, a minor in Computer Information Systems is an option for students who want to major in other related fields such as, business, communication, or political science;
  • Many non-major students take classes in the Computer Science Program to gain appreciable knowledge of computers and information technology as part of a liberal arts education;
  • Students have the opportunity throughout their studies to integrate theory and practice;
  • Small class sizes allow each student to build personal relationships with well-educated faculty, as well as taking ownership in the direction of their education.
