Students working with computer parts
Hands-on learning is the core of our programs. Our small class sizes mean you can always get the major courses you need and attention from professors who are eager to help you learn. And our graduates are in high demand in this high tech world.

Choose from Two Majors

Computer Science, B.S.

The primary goal of the major is to produce graduates capable of succeeding as computing professionals, while the minor introduces students to computing. The minor introduces students in other disciplines to key elementary concepts in computing. Though this is not always sufficient for many careers in computing, many computer science minors obtain additional training in order to launch careers in the field.
