Majors and Minors
Forging frontiers in innovation
Our undergraduate programs are designed to train computer scientists, data scientists, and software engineers for productive, life-long careers. The Department offers strong undergraduate programs leading to a B.S. in Computer Science, a B.S. in Software Engineering, and a B.S. in Data Science.
Majors
Computer Science
The B.S. program in Computer Science seeks to impart to students an understanding of the basics of Computer Science, to develop proficiency in the practice of programming and computing, and to prepare them for continued professional development.
Software Engineering
The Software Engineering Program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to learn Software Engineering fundamentals, to study applications of state-of-the art software technologies, and to prepare for the practice of Software Engineering.
Data Science
The Data Science major is intended for students with strong quantitative backgrounds and has the goal of educating students on the technical fundamentals of Data Science, with a focus on developing the knowledge and skills needed to transform data into insights.
Concurrent B.S./M.S. degree
The concurrent B.S./M.S. degree in Computer Science offers highly motivated students the opportunity for accelerated study. In this track, students have the opportunity to complete both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in as few as five years of study (ten semesters).
Computer science minor
The Department of Computer Science offers an undergraduate minor in Computer Science. The minor requires at least 16 credits in computer science courses, and must include at least 9 credits that are not used to meet any other department, college, or university requirement.
Data science minor
The minor in data science will prepare students with the technical and communication skills to enter the workforce as domain experts with data science skills.
Computing applications certificate
This certificate is designed for undergraduates not already enrolled in majors in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering who wish to enhance their degree and employment possibilities by adding expertise in computing applications.
