Program Description
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science is designed to provide an in-depth study in theoretical and algorithmic foundations as well as cutting-edge developments in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics, and new approaches to programming. Through theoretical application students learn to determine the best performance possible, and the study of algorithms helps them to develop new approaches that provide better performance.
The program curricula offer a wide range of courses in areas of computer networking, software design and implementation, human-computer-interface, and uses of databases to create new knowledge. The majors in this program develop effective ways to solve computing problems, use new approaches to store information in databases, send data over networks, and display complex images.
