The Computer Science Program is designed to meet the needs of students desiring careers in business, industry, and government as well as preparation for advanced studies at the graduate level. Students majoring in Computer Science may apply their technical strengths to second majors in many programs such as accounting, business administration, mathematics, science, and education. The faculty of the Computer Science Program have been selected to provide quality instruction in all branches of Computer Science.

All major and minor programs must have the approval of the student’s advisor and the department faculty.

The Computer Science Program offers a bachelor of science degree and a minor in computer science. The major is designed to meet two goals: first, to prepare the student to enter the job market upon graduation, and secondly to provide a solid background in computer science for those who wish to pursue an advanced degree in computer science.
