Applied Computer Science Major

Applied Computer Science is a unique academic program that prepares our students for a variety of careers where computer science is utilized. That includes the typical career of software development, and also careers in fields that intersect computer science, such as health care, legal, business, media, scientific, and education.Courses include current and relevant topics including but not limited to robotics, mobile development, media computation, cyber security, and Big Data. Applied CS students work both in groups and individually throughout the program, which culminates in a senior capstone project where students work together to complete a project of choice or one commissioned by an external organization. Students can get additional hands-on experience through internships and undergraduate research opportunities.
