The computer science field has experienced dramatic growth and technological development within the last decade. The 21st century is heralding the emergence of nanotechnology, ubiquitous computing and wireless networking. The Computer Science and Information Technology (CS/IT) Department is responding to these technological challenges by offering a dynamic course of study that is responsive to the ever-changing field of computer technology. The Computer Science/Information Technology curriculum has two concentrations: Science and Information Technology. The Science option is geared to those students with strong mathematics and the desire to participate in the research and development side of computer science. The Information Technology option is for those students interested in interface, multimedia and system design for business applications.
The curriculum is designed to provide the Computer Science major with the latest up-to-date information. Courses in C programming, C++, Visual Basic, JAVA, Multimedia, Database design, Web Design, Software Engineering, and Networking are just a few of the subjects offered. Students may also complete a degree program with a BS and MSCIS in five years.
The major in Computer Science with a concentration in computer Science requires the completion of 48 credits. The major in Computer Science with a concentration in information Technology requires 45 credits not including supporting courses. The remaining credits required for graduation are within the liberal arts core curriculum.
