In all three programs of study, design experiences are included throughout the first three years of the curriculum and culminate in a major team-oriented project in the senior year that approximates an industrial work experience. All programs strive to provide students with opportunities to interface with the profession through avenues such as cooperative education programs, professional society activities, plant trips, special projects, and industry speakers programs.

Educational objectives of the Program at the University of Texas Arlington are what the program expects its graduates to attain within three to five years after graduation.  Graduates of the UTA Computer Science Program will:

• Be technically competent and commence a computing career or advanced studies.
• Advance in the profession, especially in responsibility for the design of computer-based systems.
• Demonstrate leadership for a changing profession and world.
