The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program is a four-year degree program.  

During the first year, students will take general education courses as well as an introduction to computer science and computers and society. In year two, students will mainly take computer science courses including a three course programming series, linear algebra for data analysis web application programming, software development tools and a career seminar. In year three, students will complete two one-credit computer science seminars that help students explore careers, draft resumes, compile job application materials, and practice interview techniques. Additionally, students are introduced to foundational hands-on skills in algorithms and data structures, foundations of computer science, database modeling, software engineering, two computer science electives, and math necessary for success in computer science. In the final year, students will cover advanced topics including security concepts, principles of computer systems, algorithmic problem solving, a two-quarter capstone project, programming languages, additional applied math, two computer science electives and the final computer science seminar. The BSCS is a hybrid program with lower division classes typically held in person two days per week with additional instruction online.

A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree is awarded upon completion of 180 credits of specified coursework with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.  Entry into a master’s program may require a higher GPA for admission.  Students are responsible for checking specific requirements of graduate institutions prior to application.
