College of Computer Science
Undergraduate Degree Programs
This is the original degree offersed by the College of Computer Science.
Its emphasis is on a sophisticated study of computer science and related
areas of mathmatics, physics, and electrical engineering. Students examine
general principles and implementation of several important classes of computer
systems, such as database managemetn systems, operating systems, and programming
languages. Software design principles and practices, as well as theoretical
foundations of computer science are stresses throughout the program.
This degree program is accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation
Commission.
The focusof this program is the theoretical foundations and analysis of
methods of computer science within the liberal arts tradition. The mathematics
requirement supports this fundamental approach. Natural science electives
complement the technical side of the program. Outside of science and mathematics,
the Bachelor of Arts program emphasizes student choice and breadth of knowledge
and is modeled on the Core Curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences,
including the requirement of proficiency in a foreign language.
Bachelor of Science in
Information Science
Information Science is an interdisciplinary field that draws on concepts
and techniques from computer science, business, and behavioral/social science.
IS students acquire a strong technical foundation along with the ability
to analyze information needs, and to plan, design, and develop the computer
applications that user wants.
A dual major program requires 13 courses in each field with two integrative
courses between the two subjects. In addition, student must satisfy the
Core Curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences for the Bachelor of
Science degree.
This degree program is administered jointly with the Psyschology Department.
