Bachelor in Computer Science
Program Information
The College of Computer and Information Sciences awards a bachelor's degree in Computer Science after completing 133 credits of theoretical and practical courses. Students are required to start a project in their last year of study. The project is a degree requirement in which students analyze, design, and implement an application proposed by the student or faculty member. This project will require a knowledge base from the whole program of study.
