Computer Science Major

CIP Code

11.0101

Facilities

Computer Science students utilize five labs for research and course work. Artificial Intelligence (AI) lab, IDEA Lab, Cybersecurity lab, Motion Capture Lab and AR/VR Lab. These labs are equipped with powerful workstations, as well as robotic arms, water lab, 3D printers, wood shop, sound equipment, command line driven servers and gaming computers. 

 

Program Requirements

The Computer Science major requires the completion of 45 required credits, 12 elective credits and 33 credits of supporting courses.

All Computer Science student starts their major with an exploration course that covers Computer Science, Information technology, Game Design and Development, Engineering and Cybersecurity areas. Students then can select their specialized course in one of the majors from the school.
