The department offers four plans of study: Computer Science major, Digital Media Studies major, Computer Science minor, and Computer Information Systems minor. READ MORE
Upon completion of the Computer Science Major, the student will have an understanding of and an appreciation for the interrelation of the main areas of study in Computer Science. The major provides a solid foundation of the concepts while emphasizing practical application; therefore, the graduate will be able to continue study in Computer Science at the graduate level, or enter the job market.
The Digital Media Studies major is an interdisciplinary program joining Art, Communication Arts, and Computer Science. Its purpose is to produce a student aesthetically, theoretically, and technologically trained and capable of excellence in the relatively new area of the design, production, and implementation of digital communications media. Included are such areas as web page design, digital visual and aural communications strategies and theory, interactive media design, media programming, digital presentation techniques, and technological advances in digital communications.
The Computer Science Minor is intended for students interested primarily in pursuing a career in computer science or related field immediately upon graduation.
The Computer Information Systems Minor will provide the student with a general understanding of analysis, design, and implementation of applications via third- and fourth-generation programming languages and pre-written packages. This minor is intended for the student expecting to use computers in a job-supportive mode.
The 21-hour Computer Information Systems Minor will provide the student with a general understanding of analysis, design, and implementation of applications via third- and fourth-generation programming languages and pre-written packages. This minor is intended for the student expecting to use computers in a job-supportive mode.
The Computer Science major emphasizes the practical application of basic concepts from the different areas of study in the discipline, and strives to give an understanding of and appreciation for their interrelation. Computer science majors are given the skills and confidence to work with all the cutting-edge software and hardware. As a graduate, you are prepared fully to "hit the ground running" with such high tech companies as Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Microsoft.
The Digital Media Studies major is an interdisciplinary program joining Art, Communication Arts, and Computer Science. Its purpose is to produce a student that is aesthetically, theoretically, and technologically trained and capable of excellence in the relatively new area of the design, production, and implementation of digital communications media. The computer science emphasis focuses on the technical nature of digital media. If you wish to delve into the intricacies of programming, networking, and databasing, you will find that this emphasis will further challenge and develop your knowledge in the behind-the-scenes world of digital media.

The IT Major is an alternative to the CS major. Whereas the latter is more theoretical in nature, IT is more practical and includes organizational issues and information systems. It deals more with soft skills and has fewer math prerequisites. READ MORE

The world is in the midst of a technology revolution with a rapid spread of computers and computer-based technologies creating a global society with immediate worldwide access. Computers are used in all areas of life including academics, industry, and healthcare. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to be aware of new computer developments. The Student Chapter of ACM seeks to present current topics in Computer Science as well as educational and job opportunities in this growing field. Club activities include guest speakers, field trips to computing industries, and social activities. Membership is open to students interested in computer-related topics.
