The Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science degree provides programming capabilities, a well-rounded knowledge of computer structures and functioning, exposure to current trends in computer science through coursework and internships, and a strong foundation in the liberal arts.
This program offers students an additional path to learning technology and software development, with fewer math requirements than the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program.
Upon completion, you will have a strong proficiency in core programming languages and tools for software development. You will apply algorithms, data structures and problem-solving techniques to develop efficient software solutions. You will learn how to design, implement and test software systems that meet industry standards, and how to utilize database management systems for data storage, retrieval and manipulation.
This program also helps you learn effective project management skills including time management, resource allocation and risk management. You will utilize data visualization tools to communicate data-driven insights effectively, and apply critical thinking skills to diagnose and troubleshoot technical issues.
The academic strengths of the program are complemented by excellent access to computers and technology which include Apple labs and Raspberry Pi systems, and remote access to a supercomputer system.
