 Return to: College of Science and Technology
Students seeking the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Technology must complete the department core requirements listed above and the degree core listed below. Students must choose at least one of the four concentrations within the major: Computer Science, Database, Software Engineering, and Networks. The Computer Science concentration prepares students for a variety of technology careers or graduate study by building a broad foundation in the computer science core and developing additional depth in two elective areas. The Database, Software Engineering, and Networks concentrations provide graduates with a breadth of software development experience and a depth of knowledge in a particular application area.
