BS Computer Science

The major in Computer Science prepares a student for employment in business, industry, or government and for further study in computer science or a cognate field. The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. This course is an introductory survey of computer science. It explores the breath of the subject while including enough depth to convey an honest appreciation for the topics involved. This course explores the nature and history of computers, their impact on society, algorithms, computer organization, computing systems, and numerical methods. This course involves one hour of lecture and two hours of structured laboratory each week. The lab segment introduces a syntax-free approach to computer programming logic. Topics covered in the lab include algorithm development using executable flowcharts.
