Computer Degrees

Majors

Computer Science (CSBS)

This major will teach you the theories and practical experience needed to prepare you for software development in the business world. If you want to continue to develop your expertise on a higher level, this could help you meet your goal of getting into grad school.

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)

If you are fascinated by your computer, why and how it works and enjoy creating software to make it run, pick this major to channel those interests into a computer career. This major combines electrical engineering courses with computer science courses and includes a high level of mathematics. By the time you finish, you’ll have designed, built and programmed a microcomputer system on a single board, giving you experience with software and hardware.

Computer Science and Engineering Technology (CST)

Do you like trying to figure out how the hardware in a computer works? Through this major, we’ll teach you electrical engineering technology combined with the computer science courses. It is more oriented toward assembly and maintenance of computer systems and is less mathematically oriented than the computer science and engineering major.

Computer Information Systems (CIS)

Why major in computer information systems? You'll learn computer skills for information management and the business skills that today’s companies value. A CIS major will give you a solid foundation in programming and systems design and analysis courses, along with an understanding of the business environment in which you will be working.

Computer Science and Mathematics (CSMA)

Are you intrigued by the complexity of math, but know that a degree in computer science could provide you with a practical outlet for your interest? A computer science and mathematics major will combine math and computer science courses, emphasizing less of the electronics aspect of computers and more of the math involved with computers.

Concentrations

Game Development (CSGD)

You love playing them. Make it a career! Do what you love, and make a positive impact in the industry with our game development concentration.
