The Department of Computer Science offers a major leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The major program is intended to prepare students for careers in business, industry, and education as well as for graduate study. A focus of the major program is the development of programming skills. The student is also expected to acquire a conceptual understanding of computer science that will be sufficient to permit rapid adjustment to the specific needs of his or her future workplace. Through careful selection of major elective courses, a student may design a program that will prepare him or her for graduate study in computer science.

The Department of Computer Science currently offers two minor programs. The Computer and Information Systems (CIS) minor is intended to provide business majors and other students with a competitive advantage in their job search. The Computer Science minor is intended to complement a major in mathematics or the sciences.

The department offers courses in programming, programming language concepts, software engineering, computer architecture, artificial intelligence, operating systems, data base design, and microcomputer applications, as well as theoretical computer science. In addition, the department offers in-service undergraduate and graduate courses for elementary and secondary teachers.
