Major Academic Plan (MAP) Why study computing? What aspect of modern life has not been affected by computing technologies? Personal computers, game machines, routers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, and wearable electronics have certainly changed the landscape of daily life, but older technologies that we take for granted are also now controlled by software. Automobiles, airplanes, televisions, scientific instruments, medical devices, printers, furnaces, washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, smart homes,... the list of programmed devices goes on and on. The software applications that run all of these technologies were developed by people like you. An educational foundation in computing will open up many fields in which you can help make the world a better place using your imagination, interest and passion. It's also an excellent financial choice. Current demand for college graduates in computing is far outstripping the supply, resulting in what are consistently amongst the highest starting salaries for new college graduates. Computer Science Major Our traditional computer science degree provides extensive preparation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. It will prepare you for a variety of careers in computing or for additional study at the graduate level. In this program you will study both general purpose programming and programming for specialized purposes and environments. In addition, you will learn about algorithms, performance analysis, networks, computer architectures, information systems and software engineering. You will also work on a realistic project in a team environment. The program includes a variety of advanced courses that allow you to tailor your degree to your specific interests.
