Computer Science introduces a new BA in Computer Programming and Applications major
Starting from Spring 2017, Computer Science offers a new BA in Computer Programming and Applications major. This new major provides a broad-based background sufficient for entry to a career in computing. It provides an applications view of computing, emphasizing the interdependence of programming, object orientation, and software design and engineering. This major develops core competencies in programming, data structures, software engineering, and computer organization. It allows opportunities to study a range of other aspects of computer and information science, such as web programming, mobile programming, cybersecurity, digital forensics, databases and data engineering, data communication and networks, computer and network systems administration, computer systems, and theoretical computer science. This major is also intended to give students flexibility in combining computing with other interests.
