Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science offers two computer oriented degree programs, one leading to a bachelor of science degree in Computer Science and one to a bachelor of science degree in Computer Information Systems. The university also offers a program leading to a bachelor of science degree in Computer Engineering and a program leading to a bachelor of science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems.
Computer Science
The Computer Science (CS) program emphasizes the software side of computer science; including, for instance, programming and object oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, language design and operating system design. Most upper level computer science courses require term projects and several courses require student team projects. The computer science program includes a strong foundation in the hardware side of computer science with courses in assembly language, digital circuit design and computer architecture. CS majors take the traditional science courses required of all science majors. These courses include trigonometry, calculus and discrete mathematics, biology, physics and optionally chemistry.
Computer Information Systems
The Computer Information Systems (CIS) program is a cooperative program offered through the School of Science and Mathematics and the School of Business. In addition to most of the computer science courses mentioned above, students take a wide range of business courses, including courses in accounting, economics, law, management and statistics. CIS majors take the same general education science courses taken by all business majors rather than the more rigorous biology, mathematics and physics courses taken by computer science majors.
Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering Computer Engineering (CpE) is a new program offered through the Department of Engineering.
Management Information Systems
The Department of Business Administration in the School of Business offers a degree program leading to the Bachelor of Science with concentration in Management Information Systems (MIS). The program is designed to build managerial competence in the application of information technology to support business activities. The MIS major combines computer-related courses with other business courses to develop skills that will enable students to work well in corporate environments and apply technology to design systems to solve business problems.
