Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science is designed to provide students with solid theoretical foundations of information and computation, and practical techniques in design and implementation of applications in computer systems. The program provides a balance between the standards of problem-solving techniques and hands-on projects of system implementation. This program demonstrates and focuses on skills in critical thinking, project development, independent study, and research in various fields. Students will gain proficiency in several in-demand programming languages, such C++, Java, Python, R, and SQL. Students will also gain exposure to software design, mobile development, data analytics and data science, and cybersecurity.
Concentration in Data Analytics
Data analytics is a growing field that encompasses several tech areas, including data science, data engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. STU’s Computer Science undergraduate curriculum prepares each student with data analytics skills so they are ready for this new data-driven professional landscape. Students will gain proficiency in databases, data engineering, statistical analysis, data visualization, and R and Python programming.
Information Systems Specialization
The Information Systems specialization focuses on the design of technological information systems to provide solutions to businesses. The courses present the principles of computer hardware and software components, algorithms, databases, telecommunications, cyber security, application testing, and interface design. The program provides a balance between the standards of problem-solving techniques and hands-on projects of system implementation.
