Computer Science or Information Systems
Offers opportunity for students to experiment with both. Some get a major and a minor.
Computer Science for “programmers” interested in developing scientific, engineering or gaming software. Focus is on algorithms and machines.
Information systems for those interested in specifying, developing, maintaining and supporting computer systems in service industries. Focus is on breadth (web, database, networks, analysis).
Key Philosophy of Department Even balance between theory and
development. All classes taught by full time faculty. No class size larger than 28. Average size
approximately 12-15 Most classes taught in computer lab. Project emphasis (individual and group). Minimum 6 office hours per week for
student assistance.
