Department of Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science offers exciting, high-quality degree programs and certificates.

At the undergraduate level, we offer four degrees: computer science, computing technology, cybersecurity, and data science. We also offer a minor in computer science and certificates in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Programming, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Internet and Web, Mobile Apps, and Computing. Students in any of the degree programs, from other departments, or applicants interested in just the certificates can take them to specialize following specific interests. 

At the graduate level, we offer master's in computer science, master’s in cybersecurity, as well as a doctoral program in mathematical and computational sciences with an option in computer science covering a wide range of areas, including networks and cybersecurity. In addition, we offer graduate certificates: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Internet and Web, and Mobile Apps and Computing. Certificates can be earned as part of a degree or separately.

Our programs are a part of the DHS/NSA university recognition for excellence in cybersecurity education, and all programs are STEM-designated. All programs can be completed part-time or full-time. Programs and courses designated  can be completed with a mix of evening and online options. Programs and courses designated   can be completed online.  

AI is reshaping the technology industry, and employers' expectations are shifting with it. Employers now demand strong programming fundamentals, computational thinking, and problem-solving, along with the ability to use AI tools and agents effectively. Our curriculum accordingly shifts to deliver on both fronts: foundational courses safeguard core skills through process-aware learning, and upper-level courses encourage and teach students how to effectively leverage AI.

Our graduates are located throughout the country, with a strong local presence, building careers in technology, banking, health care, engineering, and manufacturing at companies such as Google, Microsoft, Boeing, and Mastercard.
