BS or BA in Computer Science
Our computer science programs offer two paths toward a promising future in this fast-growing field. A Bachelor of Science emphasizes technical knowledge. A Bachelor of Arts provides the same strong academic foundation and allows for more flexibility in electives. Both programs combine rigorous academics led by expert faculty with hands-on experiential learning and research opportunities — equipping you with the tools, perspectives, and confidence you need to reach your goals.
