General InformationThe School of Computer and Information Sciences offers three undergraduate degrees: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Bachelor of Science in Information Systems and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Students must elect course work in one of these areas of specialization. A joint program with the College of Engineering leading to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (CpE) is also offered. At the graduate level, we offer a Masters of Science in Computer and Information Sciences with specializations in Computer Science and Information Systems.
Computer ScienceComputer Science is a discipline that involves the understanding and design of computers and computational processes. In its most general form, it is concerned with the understanding of information transfer and transformation. Particular interest is placed on making processes efficient and endowing them with some form of intelligence. The discipline includes both advancing the fundamental understanding of algorithms and information processes in general, as well as the practical design of efficient, reliable software to meet given specifications.
Information SystemsComputer-based information systems have become a critical part of products, services, and management of organizations. The Information Systems discipline centers on the development of systems that will improve the performance of people in organizations. Information systems are vital to problem identification, analysis, and decision making at all levels of management. Information Systems professionals must analyze the evolving role of information and organizational processes. Their work includes the design, implementation and maintenance of the information systems that form the backbone of today’s global economy.
Information TechnologyInformation technology professionals utilize state-of-the-art, computer-based tools to deliver today’s rapidly evolving computing technology to knowledgeable workers in widely diverse situations. The information technologist must be prepared to work in the complex network and World-Wide-Web environments to meet the needs of the end users in today’s organizations. These tasks require bringing solutions together using the different technologies developed by the computer engineers, computer scientists, and information scientists.
