Program Overview

Computer Science is a fast paced and exciting field. After a short 2 or 3 decades, computer science now pervades in virtually every other academic discipline. In the Computer Science program, students will have the chance to prepare for graduate studies and professional work in any field of application for Information Technology. Students will explore a wide range of subjects and problem areas by looking at theoretical computer science, numerical analysis, data management systems, computer graphics and artificial intelligence, systems, and software engineering. This program provides fundamental knowledge of the foundations of computer science: modern computer software and hardware, theoretical aspects of computer science, and relevant areas of mathematics and statistics. This program is intended to be combined with other programs.


Complementary Programs:

Mathematics, Statistics, , Management & Finance, Geographic Information Systems, Biology (esp. Bioinformatics), Physics, Chemistry and a cornucopia of others.
