UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The Department offers three undergraduate degree tracks. These tracks are Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Information Systems. While all three tracks share a common core of foundation materials, each has additional courses which provide a distinctive focus to the work.

The COMPUTER SCIENCE program focuses on the development and applications of software systems and on the theory of computation. Additional course work in programming languages, database systems, networks, algorithms, software engineering, and a wide range of electives extend and supplement the core coverage of hardware and software.

The COMPUTER ENGINEERING program emphasizes the application of engineering principles to the design of computer hardware and software. While all department programs provide coverage of both computer hardware and software, this program allocates additional time to issues of computer architecture and hardware design. Students in this program also acquire a broad background in engineering science through the study of the engineering core.

The INFORMATION SYSTEMS program combines a basic coverage of hardware and software with a core of business related courses and additional course work in areas such as networks and database. The emphasis in this program is on the application of computing.
