Computer science is the study of computer systems, including the architecture of computers, development of computer software, information processing, computer applications, algorithmic problem-solving, and the mathematical foundations of the discipline. The Computer Science major provides professional education in computer science to prepare the student for graduate study or for a career in the computing field. Students learn concepts and skills needed for designing, programming, and applying computer systems while also learning the theoretical and mathematical foundations of computer science. They have sufficient freedom in the program to pursue other academic interests in the liberal arts, sciences, and engineering to complement their study of computer science. The Computer Science BS Program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET<br><br>The specialization in Computer Security prepares students for a career as a security engineer, threat analyst, or security researcher. The courses under this specialization are taught by the computer science faculty affiliated with the National Security Institute. The specialization covers the fundamentals of security, while also exposing the student to some of the latest developments.
