Computer Science Major

The Department of Management, Marketing, Computer Science and Information Systems offers a wide range of computer science courses to support the B.S. degree with a major in computer science. These courses are designed to prepare students for computing careers in business, education, government, and industry. The courses also provide the foundation for graduate study in computer science or information systems. The courses blend theory and practice to prepare the students for careers in a rapidly changing field. Employment opportunities in programming and systems analysis are expected to increase much faster than the average for other occupations for the next several years.

Computer Science majors must satisfy the general education requirements for the appropriate Bachelor of Science degree. Majors are advised to select physics as one of the laboratory sciences. If a student is not prepared to enter calculus as the first mathematics course, the elective hours can be used to take college algebra and/or pre-calculus.

There are two B.S. degree options for the computer science major. Each of these options is based on a common core of computer science and mathematics courses.
