The
computer science curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong
foundation in the diverse and rapidly changing field of computing. The
science of computing is emphasized with a focus on fundamental principles and
the formal underpinnings of the field. Students are encouraged to use and
supplement their formal education through a variety of research
opportunities, participation in discipline colloquia and student/professional
organizations, and pursuit of internship experiences or international studies
opportunities. Students who successfully complete the major are qualified to
enter the computing field as professionals or to pursue graduate studies. |
Objectives
- The computer science curriculum is designed to provide students with a
strong foundation in the diverse and rapidly changing field of computing. The
science of computing is emphasized with a focus on fundamental principles and
the formal underpinnings of the field. Students are encouraged to use and
supplement their formal education through a variety of research
opportunities, participation in discipline colloquia and student/professional
organizations, and pursuit of internship experiences or international studies
opportunities. Students who successfully complete the major are qualified to
enter the computing field as professionals or to pursue graduate studies. Elective
courses: Computer science major electives are divided into three areas:
Systems courses (CSci 44xx), Theory courses (CSci 45xx), and Programming and
Languages courses (CSci 46xx). The discipline offers an array of courses in
each area. The courses listed in this bulletin are representative of the
courses offered. New courses are continually developed and added to keep up
with changes in the field. |
