The Computing Science major is designed to prepare students with a strong programming foundation and a broad perspective of the discipline. By choosing a major in Computing Science you will not only learn about emerging technologies, you will be a part of the workforce that creates these. Students completing the CS major demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematical problem solving to the task of designing and implementing computer based systems or processes. Career Paths Many students pursuing the CS major will enter the workforce as entry level computer scientists or software developers. ​Graduates are also at work as systems analysts, systems engineers, programmers, project leaders and management information specialists. Student Outcomes The program will enable students to attain, by the time of graduation: An ability to apply knowledge ​of computing appropriate to the discipline. An ability to analyze a problem, as well as identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution. An ability to design, implement and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs. An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal. An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations and society. Recognition of the need for an ability to engage in continuing professional development. An ability to use current techniques, skills and tools necessary for computing practice. An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices. An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity.
