The mission of the Computer Science B.S. program is to provide undergraduate students with a strong foundation in both Computer Science theory and programming practice that is necessary to solve real-world engineering problems. Through the use of state-of-the-art software and hardware, students will learn to develop their theoretical and programming skills in order to allow them to apply these learned techniques to analyse a problem, evaluate possible solutions, and create a solution as part of a program development team. The program prepares students for engineering careers in software design, intelligent systems, big data systems and analytics, computer systems and network design, software system security, and bioinformatics. Graduates will be prepared to take positions in these areas in academia, industry and government, the local community, and will be prepared for graduate studies in Computer Science as well. In addition, the program provides students with opportunities to interact with other professional institutions and exhibit the highest ethical standards in the practice of their profession.

The Department of Computer Science offers a number of courses introducing students to basic computer and computing concepts. Some of these courses also serve as prerequisites for more advanced study in computer science. Some introductory courses require mathematics preparation equivalent to MAT 2010. (See course descriptions regarding the required prerequisite math courses.) CSC 1000, offered as computer-based instruction, is for non-majors who desire to learn basic computing concepts. Students who intend to major or minor in computer science will not normally take this course.
