COMPUTER SCIENCEBachelor of ScienceThe Computer Science degree program is oriented toward design, implementation, and application of software systems to solve information processing problems. An emphasis area outside computer science allows the program to be tailored to the needs and interests of individual students. This program is more technically oriented than the Computer Information Systems curriculum. It prepares students for employment in the computer software field or for continued study toward an advanced degree in computer science. This program is accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Commission of the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board.
Students who change majors into Computer Science must have a cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.0 or better.
