Undergraduate Academic Programs

The faculty of computer science offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S.C.S.)   and Bachelor of Science in Computer Simulation and Gaming (B.S.C.S.G.) degrees. There are two options within the computer simulation and gaming program, the design option  and the development option  .

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 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.

Program Goals

The program educational objectives of the Tandy School of Computer Science are:

  • To meet the expectations of employers of computer scientists, and
  • To enable graduates to pursue professional development, which might include advanced studies, if desired.
