Course work involves writing computer applications and polishing programming skills.The baccalaureate program in computer science provides a fundamental education to prepare students for positions in industry, government, education, or commerce, or to pursue graduate study. The computer science curriculum is organized with two goals in mind. First, upon graduation a student must be prepared to meet immediate demands in solving computational problems. Second, a student must have sufficient understanding of basic principles and concepts in computer science to avoid technological obsolescence in the rapidly changing information technology environment.
