College of Arts and Sciences
BS in Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering is our newest major within the department that helps you open up your career options by studying both computer science (software) and computer engineering (hardware). You take exciting classes in programming, coding, design and analysis, computation, and electrical engineering.
About the Major
You are introduced to the field of electronic engineering so you learn about digital circuit design and micro-controllers, all while understanding how the entire computer works. There are two tracks to choose from:
Systems and Networks allows you to focus on computer software and its design and development
Software Design and Development allows you to focus on computer hardware and computer networks
No matter which track you choose, our expert faculty support you with one-on-one instruction and academic advising.
Degree Requirements
You must complete a total of 91 credits that includes a combination of core computer science, mathematics, science, and engineering courses.
Required Courses
Among the required courses are:
- Fundamentals of Computing I and II
- Architecture and Assembly Language
