Undergraduate Program Overview
The undergraduate computer science program prepares students for careers in computer science by offering BA and BS degrees, as well as combined BA/MS and BS/MS degrees. Students who earn the BA are prepared either for graduate study in computer science or a career in industry. Students who earn the BS degree build strength in an additional field by following an approved course of study in a related area. The department also offers a minor. Furthermore, a computer science major or minor serves as an excellent foundation for work in other areas, including but not limited to mathematics, the natural sciences, social sciences, public administration, and the arts.
Please refer to the College Catalog for detailed information about our undergraduate program and Course Info for the courses offered, as well as which courses satisfy the different requirements of the CS major. Please see the CS Majors FAQ, CS Minors, and Joint Bx/MS Programs pages for more information about the different programs.
