Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CSC)

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program offer to students a training in theoretical concepts and practical methodologies in the discipline. The program is practically oriented. Students completing this program are well prepared to offer professional services in emerging technologies.

The computer science degree trains students to architect, design, build and write efficient software algorithms to solve problems in languages that are understandable by a computer system and uses computer technologies to speed performance, increase results accuracy, data availability and reliability.

Currently, the degree offers three concentrations: Database & Knowledge Based Systems, Network & Mobile Communications and Information Technology & Mobile Application Development. The student can select one of these concentrations to suit their interest in Computer Science. Database and Knowledge Based Systems concentration develops student’s expertise in database and deduction techniques. Network and Mobile Communications prepares students to master computer network architecture, design, administration and network application development.
