Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CSC)

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science offers to students a training in theoretical concepts and practical methodologies in the discipline

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.

  • Use personal skills, planning and time management skills, problems solving and decision-making skills and continued growth in professional knowledge and the ability to function appropriately in a diverse and changing business environment

Career prospects

The BS CSC degree prepares students for a variety of careers (e.g. database or network project manager, architect, analyst, designer, developer/programmer, and/or   as   an administrator). Students are eligible to work in various industries such as telecommunications, banking, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, arts, movie production, government, education, retail, research, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can you do with a Computer Science degree?

A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree opens doors in a variety of industries, including scientific and technical services, manufacturing, finance and insurance, information services, administrative support services, and consulting.

Computer skills are needed in large numbers in other industries from retail, healthcare, education, local, state and federal government agencies, transportation, and others.

Employers in this field are looking for skills in communications, management, leadership,
information technology, operations, infrastructure, problem-solving, integration, troubleshooting, innovation, planning, research, mentorship, consulting, customer service, and Microsoft Office proficiency.

Graduates of IUGB’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program can pursue a wide range of careers  including:

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) Developers
  • Software Engineers
  • Systems Engineers
  • Software Developers
  • Project Managers
  • Network Engineers
  • Solutions Architects

Computer science is the study of computer software and hardware and their applications. At its foundation, the program focuses on critical thinking, analysis, and problem solving. Efficient solution design, implementation, evaluation, and testing are routine tasks in a CS program. This degree provides the necessary knowledge and skills to enable you to understand complex problems and to apply principles of computing to identify solutions that meet a given set of requirements.

Yes, a good understanding of math concepts is necessary to be successful in computing and programming, as you will be required to make sense of abstract language, coding, algorithms, data structures, and more.

Fatima Doumbia Koné is a Mathematics lecturer at the international University of
Grand-Bassam (IUGB). Among the courses she taught we have the following: Introduction to
Differential Equations, Elementary Statistics, Calculus(I,II,III), Transforms in Applied Math,
Introduction to Linear Algebra, Operations Research and Abstract Algebra.
She has a Bachelor degree in Mathematics (IUGB), a Master degree in Pure and Applied
Mathematics (AUST) and she is currently enrolled for a PhD in Mathematics at the African
University of Science and Tecnology (AUST), Abuja. She has also been an intern at the
Institutional Banking Group department within GTBANK CI (Garanty Trust Bank Côte
D’Ivoire).
She is a former IUGB student and she was the president of the science club in 2015.
Academically, her goal is to be a great researcher and innovator on the topics of asymptotic
theories in Fuzzy Probability Theory and their various applications to image processing. She
has good programming skills (JAVA, LaTeX, C++) and she is bilingual (French and English).
Over the years, she has been developing a method of teaching which not only put students at
the center of the learning process but also which deconstruct most of the stereotypes about the
inaccessibility of mathematical knowledge to everybody.
Regarding her research activities, she has been working since 2018 on the topic of integration
on Banach spaces and a preprint of an interesting work is available at
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.04480. She is continuing with her research on integration but now
her PhD studies focus on Random Sets Integration in Probability Theory. Professionally, she
is a very active lecturer at IUGB and she is currently the faculty advisor of the SHE CLUB,
which aims at promoting women empowerment by providing learning, leadership and
networking opportunities.

I am currently Associate Professor of computer and data science in the school of science technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at the International University of Grand-Bassam (IUGB).
From 2000 to 2018, I successively worked as a research scientist at Independent Computing Research in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Assistant Professor at the department of computer science and
engineering at Université Laval in Québec, Canada; Research Associate at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) where I also received a Ph.D. degree in computer science in March 2000. Upon receiving a master's degree in mathematical and computing science
from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) in 1990 in Japan, I worked as a research scientist at National/Panasonic, one of the most prestigious companies in Tokyo.
I am involved in research on Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Semantic Web and its applications in a wide range of fields. Besides, I designed the current Data Science program in effect
since September 2021 in STEM. In addition, I am also one the founders and current President of the
Ivorian Association of Artificial Intelligence and member of ORBICOM, the Network of UNESCO Chairs in Communication headquartered in University of Quebec in Montreal (UQUAM), Canada.
