For more information about degree offerings by the faculty of the Tandy School of Computer Science, visit the Tandy School of Computer Science webpage.

The Tandy School of Computer Science offers degree programs in computer science, information technology, and computer simulation and gaming. The School also provides computer science and information technology courses to serve the needs of all students at the University.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S.C.S.)  degree offers students a strong foundation in computer sciences and mathematics and emphasizes supporting study in the physical sciences. The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (B.S.I.T.)  degree offers students a strong foundation in computer sciences together with supporting subjects selected from professional business courses. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Simulation and Gaming (B.S.C.S.G.)  offers students a strong foundation in computer sciences and foundational courses in simulation and gaming together with supporting subjects in mathematics and physical sciences.

The B.S. degree program in computer science  is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Graduates of these programs should be well-prepared to pursue graduate study or industrial and business careers.

The University of Tulsa is not accepting applications or matriculating new undergraduate students into the bachelor’s program in information technology beyond the Fall 2019 term. Students who have matriculated into the bachelor’s program may not declare information technology as a major after the Spring 2020 term.

The University of Tulsa is not accepting students into the minor in information technology program beyond the Spring 2020 term.
