Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The Computer Science major program is designed to provide students professional preparation in
- program design and analysis,
- systems analysis and management, and
- systems architecture and networking.
It also prepares students for graduate work in computer science. Majors must have a “C” or better in all courses required of the major.
Admission Requirements: All students intending to declare themselves computer science majors must:
- Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 prior to entry into the program. Once admitted into the program, new students should see the mathematics division secretary to be assigned a CS advisor.
The goals of BS Computer Science include the following: CS majors must receive a “C” or better and maintain a 2.5 GPA for all courses required of this major.
CS/CIS PR-1: (GE) Demonstrate competence with Windows and basic MS Office applications especially MS WORD, EXCEL, and PowerPoint.
CS/CIS PR-2: Demonstrate technical competence* in Programming:
- Analyze problems and create algorithm/heuristic solutions.
- Develop these using computer-programming methodologies in several programming languages.
CS/CIS PR-3: Demonstrate technical competence in Systems.
- Identify and analyze system requirements, criteria and specifications.
- Design and implement human sensitive/compatible computer based systems
using appropriate tools, methods and techniques. - Effectively manage, organize, and retrieve all forms of information.
- Evaluate system design solutions and their risks.
CS/CIS PR-4: Demonstrate technical competence in Databases.
- Be able to design and implement a functional database.
CS/CIS PR-5: Demonstrate technical competence in Networks.
- Be able to design, install, administer, and maintain a computer network.
- Be able to setup, install, and use two different operating systems and be able to program client- server applications for them.
CS/CIS PR-6: Develop and ethically utilize these technical skills to construct systems.
*Technical Competence means to be able to design, implement (build/code, test, debug), communicate effectively (in written, oral, and numerical forms), individually, and as part of a team.
