计算机科学学士学位

计算机科学家处理各种规模的计算系统，网络安全，数据挖掘，生物信息学，视觉计算，人工智能等。新墨西哥大学的计算机科学本科课程为学生提供全面的通识教育，并在计算机编程和计算机科学的基本领域提供广泛的技能和知识。该计划允许计算机科学选修课，并且只需要较小的学习领域，这些课程使学生可以按照适合其个人目标的方向自定义计算机科学及其应用的教育。或者，他们可以选择将他们的学习引向特定的应用领域，例如商业，语言学，数学或科学。UNM计算机科学专业的学生可以与教师一起研究网络安全，计算生物学，视觉计算和物理交互等领域。
Computer Science (CS) is the body of knowledge centered on the concepts of computation, information, and communication. This includes theories for understanding computing systems and methods. Computation occurs everywhere: your iPod, your car, your immune system, your brain, financial markets, ant colonies, chemical systems, DNA, quantum systems. Computer science is concerned with everything about programs, how to solve problems with them, how to build them, how to classify and analyze them and prove they are correct, how to draw pictures with them, how to get them to learn and much, much more. CS studies these systems and others using three methodologies: engineering (high performance computing, game building), scientific (artificial intelligence, machine learning) and mathematical (cryptography, complexity theory.<br><br>The program is intended to provide students with a well-rounded general education and a broad set of skills and knowledge in the basic areas of computer programming and computer science in preparation for graduate school, careers in the information technology field, or pursuits that engage computing in other human endeavors-life sciences, social sciences, physical sciences, creative arts, etc.<br><br>Computer science is an exciting and rapidly growing field. Computer science will only expand as technology advances, and many wonderful opportunities exist for computer scientists, both during school and after graduation. Graduates might work within the computer industry as systems or application programmer, a systems analyst or designer, or in research. Outside the computer industry, opportunities exist in just about any job or field requiring an expert knowledge of computers and systems of hardware and software.
