What Makes Our CS & CSB Programs Stand Out
Deep, Rigorous Computer Science Foundation
Our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS) offers a strong grounding in the core fundamentals of computing -- algorithms, data structures, systems software, operating systems, discrete mathematics, computer architecture, and software engineering. The program is ABET-accredited and prepares students for technical careers, graduate study, or research in cutting-edge areas of computing.
Flexible Degree Paths to Fit a Range of Interests
Students may choose a BA in Computer Scinece for a broader curricular flexibility or a BS for a more intensive and technically focused program. This allows students to pair computing with other disciplines or dive deeply into advanced computing topics depending on their goals.
Interdisciplinary Edge: The CSB Program
Students may choose a BA in Computer Science for broader curricular flexbility or a BS for a more intensive and technically focused program. This allows students to pair computing with other disciplines or dive deeply into advanced computing topics depending on their goals.

Preparedness for Real-World Impact
Graduates of both CS and CSB gain analaytical, technical, and problem-solving skills applicable across industrials -- software engineering, data science, cyber security, business systems analysis, and beyond. CSB students additionally gain compentencies in finance, accounting, management, and operations, making them versatile contributers in technology-driven organizations.
Balanced Curriculum & Interdisciplinary Mindset
Both programs emphasize strong mathematical foundations, computational thinking, and the ability to integrate technical insight with real-world context. This prepares students for both the conceptual and practical demands of careers in computing.
Career and Graduate School Versatility
The CS program provides deep preparation for advanced technical roles or graduate study. The CSB program expands opportunities into consulting, analytics, entrepreneurial roles, business strategy, and innovation-focused positions. Both degrees equip students with the adaptability needed in rapidly evolving technology landscapes.

Opportunities for Research and Engagement
Students in both majors can participate in undergraduate research with faculty, join interdisciplinary teams, or engage in project-based learning that prepares them for internships, full-time positions, or graduate study.
