Computer Science Program
Students who graduate with a degree in computer science are well-positioned for a variety of careers in computing. Some examples of jobs enjoyed by graduates with this degree include software application developer, systems analyst, database administrator, web developer, network administrator, and cybersecurity technician.
Our goal is that every computer science student graduates as a skilled, independent problem-solver with broad, relevant “hard” skills and accompanying “soft” skills. To this end, our courses combine theory and practice in the context of the broader university mission of providing an education enlightened by faith.
