The Department of Computer Science offers a comprehensive program that prepares students for professional careers and/or graduate studies in computer science. The curriculum has been developed in accordance with the recommendations of the Computer Science Accreditation Commission (CSAC) of the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB) and the ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Curriculum Task Force.

Students majoring in computer science may choose between two degree programs: the bachelor of science (B.S.) and the bachelor of arts (B.A.). The two programs have identical computer science requirements and differ only in the natural science and mathematics requirements. The B.S. program requires a minimum of 33 credits in science and mathematics and is intended for students planning to pursue careers and/or graduate studies in science and engineering. The B.A. program has fewer science and mathematics requirements (24 credits), thus allowing students greater opportunity to develop breadth of knowledge in other disciplines, such as the arts, humanities, social sciences, and business.
