The BSCS program prepares students to enter and thrive in software development, computer science, and related professions and graduate programs. Students are exposed to the basis of computer science in mathematics, logic, and engineering as well as the experimental and design aspects of the computer science discipline. Students can explore more specialized topics, including (but not limited to) network and database administration or information security analysis. Graduates of the BSCS program will be prepared to apply their knowledge to related computing domains and meet new technical challenges.
Students graduating from this program should be able to:
-
Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
-
Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program's discipline.
-
Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
-
Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
-
Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program's discipline.
-
Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
