Computer Science (BS)

Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:

Apply knowledge of math, science, engineering and contemporary developments in the fields of software programming, networking, system design, computer science and/or project management.
Analyze problems through the use of computer science concepts and processes to formulate, implement and test software-based algorithms.
Incorporate historical context and emerging developments in computer science to create adaptable and efficient algorithmic solutions that reflect ethical considerations and global awareness.
Use the techniques, skills and emerging tools necessary for analysis and evolution of algorithms in computer science.
Upon completion of the​ Software Engineering specialization (offered at the Providence and North Miami campuses), graduates are expected to:

Integrate knowledge, tools and problem-solving skills to carry out the design, creation, maintenance and testing of state-of-the-art software solutions.
Upon completion of the​ Network Engineering specialization (offered at the Providence campus), graduates are expected to:

Apply computer science knowledge, skills and tools focused on real-time, finite state machine development methods aimed at creating network products, network designs, troubleshooting plans and advanced protocol tracking.
Modern computer science touches many academic pursuits (i.e., business, economics, the sciences, mathematics, etc.). Computer Science students have the flexibility to truly pursue integrated learning across the university and beyond, made possible by additional elective options with this degree. The benefits of problem-solving and algorithmic thinking can be applied to many intellectual pursuits changing the way students approach problem solving. Coupled with the pragmatic skills of programming and computer internals training, students can be action-oriented in mobilizing and automating problem-solving methods.
