 Return to: Academic Programs
Students seeking the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Technology must complete the University’s REAL Curriculum Requirements, the Degree Core Requirements, the Bachelor of Science Requirements, and the courses required for at least one concentration. Students must choose at least one of the four concentrations within the major: Computer Science, Database, Networks, and Software Engineering.
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 an elective area. The Database, Networks, Software Engineering, and Secure Software Development concentrations provide graduates with a breadth of technical experience and a depth of knowledge in a particular application area.
