The School of Computer Science offers an array of Undergraduate programs with cirricula designed to provide study in state-of-the-art computer applications as well as an introduction of the theoretical foundations of computer science. Currently we offer the Computer Science and Information Technology programs.

NOTICE: This or any subsequent page is not intended to be a complete list of all requirements and is not a substitute for the Undergraduate Program Catalog. All students are presumed to have read the information in the Undergraduate Program Catalog, which is the final authority.

Computer Science (CS) track (Major code: AS0701)

This track should be followed by the student who intends to continue to graduate study in computer science.

Software Design and Development (SDD) track (Major code: AS0702)

This track may be followed by the student who intends to pursue a software engineering career.

A majority of the required courses are the same for both of these tracks. Please read the detailed course requirements page carefully; the differences between the tracks are noted. For more details on the undergraduate Computer Science program, please read more . . .

We also offer a minor in Computer Science (Minor code: AS9114) program. This is for students who are majoring in another degree and wish to get a minor in Computer Science. To find out about the CS minor program, please read more . . .

The School of Computer Science offers curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science is accredited by:

Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology as a single major (Major code: AS0706)

This program also requires a minor in another academic discipline (Computer Science and Computer Engineering are not accepted as the minor for the other academic discipline). If you wish to view the details about this program, please read more . . .

Bachelor of Arts degree in Information Technology as a second major (Major code: AS0705)

The BA in IT (as a second major) program is open to those students who are enrolled in and will be completing another Bachelor degree program or those who already have a Bachelor degree from an accredited institution. If you wish to view the details of this program, please read more . . .

Weekend IT Program

The Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology program is designed to give students a firm understanding major areas of information technology such as: Hardware, Operating Systems, Application development, Web Development and Management, Databases, Networking, System Administration. The students are able to complete the degree requirements within 12 months by attending classes that will be offered over Saturdays only, please read more . . .

Computer Science and Computer Engineering are not accepted as the primary major at this time.

Computing Resources

The School of Computer Science provides several computing labs to service the curriculum needs of our undergraduate students.

The John C. Comfort Laboratory (JCCL) is a learning facility for undergraduate students of the School of Computer Science. This laboratory is equipped with 60 Pentium IV, 2ghz class computers which run either Windows XP or Red Hat Linux. This lab has been designed to give students a broad exposure to the Windows XP environment including programming using Microsft Visual Studio .Net and JCreator Pro.

The School also maintains an Instructional Lab which is designed to support courses which have a "lab" component. Like the JCCL, the Instructional Lab has 15 Pentium IV, 2ghz class computers. This room can accommodate 30 students on the 15 workstations working on collaborative assignments.

In addition, we are currently supporting another open undergraduate lab designed to accommodate students working on team projects or collaborative assignments. Affectionately called the Experimental Lab or ExLab, is has been designed to be flexible so that it can be employed to meet a variety of curriculum computing needs. As an example, a course which has a "hardware lab" component uses this facility with designated equipment for its "hands on" lab assignments.
