Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Computer Science is the study of algorithms-- formal procedures for problem solving that can be implemented mechanically (in hardware) and linguistically (in software).
The mission of the Computer Science programs is to prepare and inspire students for successful employment or graduate study in computing and for thoughtful engagement in the development and application of algorithmic approaches to problem solving.
