The Department of Computer Science offers a major program of study in three areas: Computer Science, Computer Science with Business, and Computer Science with Mathematics. The majors prepare students to work effectively in industry and government jobs, and to enter graduate programs. 

Computer Science:

The B.A. in Computer Science provides students with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of computer science, on both theoretical and application levels. Students take courses that teach them to analyze and solve computing problems and acquaint them with both software and hardware. 

Computer Science with Business:

The B..A.. in Computer Science with Business offers a degree program for students who are interested in both computing and business. Computers are transforming the way business is done. The courses selected in this major are designed to equip the students to apply computers and technology in a business environment. The B.A. in Computer Science with Business provides students with a grasp of computer science as well as an appreciation of the business environment by exposing them to principles of management and marketing, finance, and human resource management

Computer Science with Mathematics:

The B.A. in Computer Science with Mathematics offers a degree program for students who wish to combine an understanding of Computer Science with an appreciation of mathematics. 

Computer Science Interdisciplinary Minor

The Computer Science Department also participates in the following interdisciplinary minors: Web Design Minor  and Computational Physical Science Minor . For more information about these programs, please refer to the Interdisciplinary Minors  Section of the catalog.
