Computer Science, Bachelor of Science

About this programme

A successful major program of study leads to the Bachelor of Science in computer science (B.S.). This program requires specific courses and/or credits in several key areas: computer science, math, and basic science, as well as meeting school-wide requirements in foundational abilities. There is significant flexibility in how these requirements are fulfilled. Undergraduate majors may choose to pursue a broad selection of computer science courses, or to pursue a focus area within the field. Current foci primarily reflect departmental and school research strengths: big data, computational biology, fundamentals of computing, information security, natural language processing, robotics, systems and networking; as well as career interests in software engineering and entrepreneurship. Regardless of whether students pursue a particular focus or not, our bachelor program provides excellent preparation for research within the department, summer internships, and post-graduation industry employment or graduate work.
