The degree programs closely follow the professional preparation recommendations of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and National Security Agency. Some recent career placements have been as software developers for major computer manufacturers (e.g. IBM, UNISYS, AT&T), computer science organizations, the defense industry, and software houses, among others. Admission standards are high, and extensive class work, laboratory and project involvement, motivation and commitment are required for successful development as Computer Science problem solvers. In recent years, the department has received more than $6.6 million in research grants from outside sources. This has provided a very rich laboratory environment as well as research opportunities for select undergraduates.
Two baccalaureate degree programs are offered: a bachelor of science in Computer Science; a bachelor of science in Computer Security. We also offer a Computer Science Applications minor.
The course requirements and course descriptions for these programs are listed below, followed by a suggested plan for completing the Computer degree(s) in eight semesters.
