The Department offers courses leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with concentrations in Software Engineering and Information Systems, and a minor in Computer Science. The goal of these programs is to train graduates for successful careers in industry and to prepare students for graduate studies. Students are encouraged to do cooperative work with local companies for up to one year, receiving up to four course credits, job experience, and (normally) compensation in the process. Such experience is also beneficial in seeking post-graduate employment.
