B. Thomas Golisano College of www.rit.edu/gccis COMPUTING AND INFORMATION SCIENCES Fast forward. Few universities can offer you the range of academic programs, the number of faculty and the variety of their interests, or the sophisticated computer hardware and software available to you at RIT. The Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences is one of the nation’s largest producers of computing professionals. RIT has been a leader in computing education since 1972, when we started one of the first undergraduate computer science programs in the United States. Today, the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences collaborates with other colleges of RIT to form an educational computing powerhouse. The college offers you a comprehensive approach to computing through your course work, specialized research opportunities, and experiential education. Specialized research can be conducted in any of the college’s 34 labs, including the Social Computing Lab, which develops tools to facilitate interpersonal interaction through computer networks. All of the majors within the college require cooperative education, giving you great practical experience that pays you to put your knowledge to work. This résumébuilding opportunity gives you hands-on experience in your field prior to graduation. Computer science If you want to become a professional in computing and explore the full breadth of the field, then you want the computer science major. The program offers specializations in computer science theory, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, parallel computing, systems software, operating and database systems, programming languages, and distributed systems and networking, to name a few. Adding elective courses or a minor in entrepreneurship, mathematics, psychology, or other areas complements your major and gives you even more options. Game design and development The roots of this RIT major are in computing and information sciences, but it involves students in game design, the design process, and animation. This BS degree program is the result of collaboration with our College of Imaging Arts and Sciences. It responds to the industry need for developers who will be involved in the design process from the beginning. The major integrates strong programming skills—mandatory in the game development field—with game design and the collaborative skills that are essential in the industry. As you explore the entertainment technology landscape, you also will be gaining a broad-based university education. Computing security With this major, we are responding to the critical need for security professionals who can protect industries and individuals from every level of computer crime. As the number of computer networks and their connection to the Internet has grown, so has our dependence on these technologies. Now an explosion of malicious software and attacks on systems and networks preys on our vulnerability. This field calls for diagnostic and forensic specialists who can find it, prove it—and fix it. Information technology The explosive growth of the Web, the merging of traditional industries and technologies, and the redefinition of how we live, work, and communicate have created an unprecedented demand for professionals who can help people in virtually any field access new computing technologies. The major, the first and largest of its kind in the country, provides a mix of technology-based courses in areas such as networking, Web deployment, and digital media with user-centered courses in areas such as technology transfer, social computing, and human factors. Medical informatics Computers are used in every aspect of health care, which has generated a great need for individuals who understand the technological and human aspects of the field. The medical informatics curriculum lets you explore the still-growing clinical and laboratory applications of computer technology. The major’s computer science track suits those interested in developing computer software for medical applications, while the information technology track focuses on computing support for databases, networks, and Web applications. Networking and systems administration Our networking and systems administration major prepares you for a successful career designing, building, and/or maintaining local area networks and gateways to the Internet. In our hands-on NetLab and SysLab, you will learn how to specify, procure, deploy, and maintain computer systems to support software developers and developers of Web and database applications. Specialize in one of four tracks: network administrator, system administrator, Web system administrator, or database system administrator. 18
New media interactive development New media specialists love a challenge. They possess deep and far-ranging skills in their fields of concentration, and they also show their broad understanding of the social and economic impact of all cuttingedge new media technologies. Are you, too, an instinctive problem solver with the desire and ability to teach yourself emerging techno logies? In this major you’ll gain a solid background in design, programming, and computing tech nologies and the development of dynamic experiences. New media students master an exceptionally varied range of skills—from concept, multimedia project, and gaming development to digital photo graphy, video, and sound to animation and interactivity. Software engineering Our major in software engineering was the first in the nation, but like so much else in computer science, the demand for software is exploding. A distinctive feature of our curricula is our “application domain” electives, which allow you to choose three courses in an area where software engineering principles can be applied, such as electrical engineering, computer science, or business.
