The Division of Computing Sciences is one of the three divisions in the Department of Engineering and Computing Sciences, which is part of the STEM College. The computing programs offered are designed to provide students with the fundamental and advanced knowledge required to initiate and maintain a successful career in various computing fields. Students gain not only technical skills as they progress through their coursework, but also soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and working on a team. Real-world projects and hands-on experiences are integrated into each program. Every student completes their degree as part of a team tasked with the design and implementation of a large-scale project.
The mission of the Division of Computing Sciences is to produce men and women who can assess, develop, and maintain business and scientific computing systems, and who are capable of continued learning and ethical practice in computing.
To achieve this mission the department provides a professional environment that introduces students to relevant computing concepts, systems, and methodologies through a curriculum that effectively blends theory with practice.
The department is committed to providing knowledgeable and caring faculty, access to a full range of computers, operating systems, programming languages, and application packages, and curricular options that address the needs of modern business and scientific computing.
Please call our Admissions Office to schedule a visit with faculty and tour our classrooms.
Best wishes for success in all your endeavors.
