The Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science (BSCIS) program offers great flexibility for planning an academic program. The curriculum prepares students for a career in the exciting field of computer and information science, and provides them with a strong foundation for pursuit of graduate studies in computer and information science. Areas of study in which to concentrate in the program include use of the computer in all branches of engineering, business, sciences, and other areas approved by a student's adviser.
The BSCIS program was modified in Spring, 2003, and include new courses that reflect current trends in computer and information science. Java is now used as the language in the initial programming courses as well as in several of the electives. New courses introduced during this change include Object Oriented Design and Programming (CIS 468), Internet Programming (CIS 408), and C/C++ for Systems Programming (CIS 340). The updated BSCIS program continues to provide two options for students, the CIS Major and the CSC Major. The CIS major is designed for those students who intend to follow applied areas of computer and information science, or who wish to complete a concentration area in disciplines such as Engineering and Business. The CSC major is designed for those students who want a stronger theoretical and quantitative emphasis.
All programs offered by the Department of Computer and Information Science are available in both the day and the evening. The evening sections of beginning courses are offered each semester. Evening sections of electives are typically offered once a year.
