Computer Science Department
Computer science is the study of solving problems with the aid of
computers. It deals with the design of algorithms (i.e., effective
procedures) for the solution of problems, with the struc-tures of
languages for the efficient expression of these algorithms, and
with computer systems, both hardware and software, for implementing
these languages.
Two degree options are offered. Students whose main interest is
the discipline of computer science, perhaps leading to graduate
study, choose the B.S. in Computer Science. This degree is also
appropriate for those wanting careers in systems or application
programming. The B.A. in Computer Science prepares students for
careers applying computers to other fields of interest. The department
also offers a minor in computer science.
The curriculum is modeled on the guidelines of the Association for
Computing Machinery.
