Computer Science

The computer science (CS) major deals with the systematic study of algorithms and data structures. The CS curriculum is consistent with recommendations outlined by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and emphasizes laboratory experience as a major component of courses. By integrating theory, abstraction, and design, the curriculum bridges the gap between hardware and software issues. The program provides students with an opportunity to gain in-depth, rigorous instruction in the following nine areas of computer science (as specified by the national ACM/IEEE Joint Curriculum Task Force): algorithms and data structures; architecture; artificial intelligence and robotics; database and information retrieval;human-computer communication; numerical and symbolic computation; operating systems; programming languages; and software methodology and engineering. A grade of C- or higher is required in all program and major requirements.
