COMPUTER SCIENCE
Mission
The mission of the program in Computer Science is
to provide students with knowledge of the design,
modeling, analysis, and applications of computerrelated
systems. The program provides education
at the undergraduate level necessary to understand,
design, implement, and use the software and hardware
of digital computers. It provides comprehensive and
strongly related studies of subjects in computer
system architecture, computer network modeling and
analysis, programming languages and systems, artificial
intelligence, computer science theory, database
management systems, systems analysis and design, web
site design and development, and scientific computing.
The Computer Science program seeks to provide its
majors with a deep knowledge of the core principles
of computer science skills necessary to use computers
to solve real-world problems, and experiences in
implementing solutions with modern computing tools.
The program prepares students for graduate school
or for entry-level positions in the computer related
job markets.
o Prepare students for computer related jobs in private,
public or governmental sectors of the global marketplace.
o Prepare students for placement in advanced training in
specialized computer related areas.
o Support the computing needs of students in non-computer
science fields of study.
Student Learning Outcomes
o Understand and apply the principles of computer science.
o Apply theoretical knowledge and analytical skills in problem
solving.
o Demonstrate proficiency in data structures, algorithm
design and research methodologies.
o Demonstrate knowledge of elements of computer
hardware, architecture, software, programming languages,
operating systems, data communications, database
management, and systems analysis and design.
