Computer Science Course Offerings

The increasing range of applications for computers in our society, combined with rapid changes in the supporting technology, make Computer Science a dynamic and exciting area of study. Our curriculum provides students with a firm foundation in the basic principles and techniques of the discipline, as well as experience using modern software development technology.

Some courses have required in-class labs. Students work directly with the professor.Typically, our class sizes do not exceed 25 giving each student more opportunity to ask questions and make comments. The faculty in the department as a whole has an open door policy. Consequently we meet with our students frequently so students can get the help they need on assignments.

Introductory courses in the major are taught in the programmign language Java.. Upper level courses are taught in languages that are appropriate to specific areas of study. Some of the languages used are: C, C++, Java, LISP, ML, PHP, Prolog, and Python. In addition to popular languages, students gain familiarity with software development tools including Eclipse, NetBeans, and Rational Rose. During their studies, students are encouraged to become familiar with multiple software development environments including those available on both Unix and Windows platforms. Thus, our students are well equipped to pursue a variety of software development careers upon graduation.
