Stetson University provides students a flexible curriculum where they can receive a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science or a Bachelor of Arts degree in computer information systems. The computer science major gives students a broad overview of the field of computer science and prepares them for graduate study in computer science or a career in industry that emphasizes the studentâ€™s technical expertise. The computer information systems major is designed for students who are interested in applying todayâ€™s technologies to the solution of business problems. Students choosing this major are prepared for graduate study in information technology, computer information systems, or software engineering, or a career in industry that emphasizes software application development. By taking courses that emphasize network and Web-based application development and that include selected electronic business courses, and by combining this knowledge with a minor in business, students obtain a solid foundation -- not only in computer information systems, but also in how the technology is used in a business environment. The department also supports the interdisciplinary digital arts/computer science major for students interested in the application of computer science to digital media, computer graphics and animation, and computer music. See Digital Arts elsewhere in the Catalog for more information.Regardless of the major, students are prepared to enter a vital and rapidly changing field, either by pursuing graduate study or through leadership in a challenging industry career. The majors incorporate the Object Oriented paradigm, the theoretical aspects of computer science, and the skills of software engineering into a challenging curriculum modeled after the nationally recognized guidelines of the Joint IEEE Computer Society/ACM Task Force on the "Year 2001 Model Curricula for Computingâ€ (CC-2001). The curriculum emphasizes a hands-on learning environment where students learn the important concepts as they work on real-world projects. Both the computer science and computer information systems degrees require a senior project, a capstone experience appropriate to the selected major.
