SCIENCE MAJOR<br />
<strong>The</strong> Computer Science Major, leading to a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science<br />
degree, has as its objective the training <strong>of</strong> students as<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware generalists who will be well prepared for immediate<br />
employment as programmers and analysts or for graduate<br />
study in computer science. <strong>The</strong> focus <strong>of</strong> the program is,<br />
therefore, neither computer engineering nor business-oriented<br />
data processing. Students are expected to become extremely<br />
competent programmers in several computer languages. <strong>The</strong><br />
program insists on the theoretical underpinnings <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
development, a mastery <strong>of</strong> which is essential for the graduate<br />
who must be prepared for work and study in a field in which<br />
radical change is the normal condition.<br />
* This department is a component <strong>of</strong> the ICISI (Institut de<br />
commerce international et des sciences de l'information).<br />
