The Computer Science Program prepares students for professional careers in the development of software for various industrial and service applications. The program focuses on algorithm development, programming, architecture design, and networks, using relevant industry/service-based projects to apply the basic concepts and theories in computer science. In addition to computer science and mathematics courses, students begin programming during their freshman year and conclude the spring semester by implementing a team-based software development project. This academic study and intensive project-based learning approach continues throughout the four-year program and culminates in a senior capstone software development project or an industry or government internship experience. CETA supports student participation in the annual Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges – Northeastern Region (CCSCNE) Conference, and students have the opportunity to present posters on their projects and compete in programming challenges. The College also funds undergraduate student research projects, guided by faculty members, in areas such as mobile application development and outcome assessment software tools. Students also have the opportunity to be involved in related clubs and organizations within the College and on campus.
