Computer Science Major
| Every aspect of our lives is influenced by the computer. Today and beyond, it is the responsibility of each individual to gain the skills and knowledge to be an intelligent user of various types of computer hardware and software. The Computer Science (CS) and Computer Information Systems (CIS) programs offer a broad range of courses from the most basic personal computer fundamentals to advanced systems. Students who pursue the Computer Science degree have supplementary requirements in both mathematics and physics and they also study the programming of mathematics and science applications. Students pursuing this degree would likely seek employment opportunities writing programs for scientific models, operations research, actuarial science, or computer operating systems for industry, education, and government. |
