Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science offers three standard majors — computer science, computer science-mathematics, and information systems. Also, for students wishing to add a computing option to an existing major, two complementary majors are offered — business-information systems and computer science. Students majoring in computer science are urged to complete additional course work in mathematics, accounting, business administration, physics, or related areas.The computer science department is dedicated to preparing students to be problem solvers and critical thinkers. Objectives of the computer science program are to educate students in the uses of computers; to prepare students to be problem solvers, using computers where appropriate, in jobs such as programming and systems analysis, engineering, and administration; to prepare students for graduate study; and to present a balanced view of computers and their applications. To meet these objectives, the computer science curriculum combines a sound theoretical base in computer science with practical, hands-on experience.
