Computer science is a discipline with historical foundations in science, mathematics and engineering. It is concerned with the study of a variety of topics including computer design, computer programming, information processing, data communication, machine intelligence, robotics, the algorithmic solution of problems, and the various representations of information including numeric, alphabetic, visual, audio and sensory.?
This discipline deals with effective ways to represent and display information, algorithms to process information, languages in which to express algorithms, hardware systems to interpret such languages, theoretical techniques for insuring the accuracy and cost effectiveness of these processes and the philosophical foundations of computing and machine intelligence.The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is a degree program accredited by ABET/CAC guidelines, and as such provides both intellectual depth and breadth in the discipline of computer science.?
The program emphasizes both fundamentals of computer science and the skills required to apply computer science to application areas, as well as professional ethics. The objective of the program is to prepare the student upon graduation for: immediate entry into a programming, software engineering, systems and network administration or similar position in either the public or private sectors; or for graduate education in computer science or a closely related discipline leading to a Master or Doctoral degree. Graduates of the program have been successful both in industry and in graduate school.
