Program Overview
The major in Computer Science enables a student to develop an understanding of the theory and practice of computing within the context of a liberal arts and sciences education.
In addition to computer programming, majors in computer science study computer languages, logic, data structures, and applications of computing. The art and science of problem-solving are emphasized.
Students who desire a more scientific emphasis will complete the College of Arts and Sciences requirements for a B.S. degree; the computer science requirements for the B.A. and B.S. degrees are the same.
All programs are to be planned in careful consultation with a departmental advisor and be approved by that advisor.
B.A. Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree is intended for students who desire less of a scientific emphasis. Students who desire more of a scientific emphasis should consider the Bachelor of Science degree. All programs are to be planned in careful consultation with a departmental advisor and be approved by that advisor.
