We can help you prepare for a career in programming and technology. Our Computer Science Program teaches the theory behind the computer and the programming of the machine, so you will be able to improve hardware efficiency and build better applications.

The Computer Science major focuses on the study of the computer itself – how it is built, how the hardware and software work, and how to program the computer to achieve a task. The typical computer science application involves writing programs using various programming languages and focusing on software architecture, data structures, and algorithm development issues.
