In fulfilling its mission, the computer science program gives priority to excellence in teaching while emphasizing service and intellectual contributions.
Computer scientists do varied work. They design and build software and create efficient solutions to real-world problems in fields such as robotics, computer-enhanced vision, and digital forensics. Computer Science graduates pursue careers as computer programmers, systems analysts, network administrators, software engineers, database administrators, web page developers, and information system managers.
The program is located in the Hemphill Hall, with new computer laboratories and state-of-the-art smart classrooms.ÌýSmall class sizes provide opportunity for close interaction with faculty and peers.
Students pursuing a degree in Computer Science will take electives in areas such as computer graphics, networking, and internet systems programming and management. In addition, the departmentÌýhosts a student chapter of the ACM, the premier organization for computer science professionals, as well as Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the international Computer Science honor society.
The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission
