Our curriculum provides students with advanced skills that are sought after by employers, such as database skills, multi-platform programming development skills, analytical skills, and good, basic business intelligence. Students have the freedom to choose from three tracks: software development, internet and network security, or systems management.

Graduates from this major are highly sought after upon graduation; they have gone on to become software developers, actuaries, programmers, systems engineers, IT technicians, application developers, and more.

Careers and Internships

Our computer and information science graduates are successful. But, don’t just take our word for it. We’ve got the data to back it up. In a survey of our 2014-15 graduates, 100 percent of the students from our computer and information science major who responded said they were employed within six months of graduation. 

Those recent graduates are working as associate application engineers, associate software developers, software engineer, support technician, and system and services support analysts at places like Baystate Health, Farm Credit Financial Partners, Fidelity, Quest Diagnostics, and even Springfield College.
