Computer science is the study of information and computation and their application in computer systems. Computer science majors start by learning the fundamentals of programming and mathematics, while upper-level courses focus on specializations such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, programming languages, theory, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and databases. The ubiquitous application of computer science necessitates that majors be broadly educated and have excellent analytical and communication skills. 

The department also offers two minors:

• The computer science minor allows students with other majors to learn the foundations of traditional computer science.
• The computer security minor explores modern issues in computer and information security such as digital forensics and encryption.
