Full Description
In keeping with the fast-growing computer science industry, the Computer Science program is designed to prepare students for an industrial, business, or governmental career or further graduate educational goals. The focus of the Computer Science degree lies in three areas:
Technology Integration: Students will be able to combine necessary theories, software programs, and operating systems to address real-world issues.
Information Technology: Students will be able to understand and utilize current development tools to build revised or new platforms for future application.
Analytical/Critical Thinking: Students will be able to analyze, understand, and modify an existing framework and to propose a new strategy within the given constraints.
Included in the computer science facility are a research laboratory, study areas, and electronic classrooms with large screen projection systems for lectures. Small classes allow faculty members to provide individualized attention to students and their projects and research. Students can gain faculty advised research experience through various summer research grants and independent study opportunities.
