Do I need prior programming experience to apply to the B.S. in Computer Science program?

No prior programming experience is required. The program is designed to help students build a strong foundation from the ground up, beginning with core principles in software engineering and progressing into more advanced computing topics. Introductory coursework supports students who are new to programming while still challenging those with experience.

What programming languages will I learn in the B.S. in Computer Science program?

While specific course lists vary, students gain experience with the programming languages most commonly used in software engineering and emerging technologies. Coursework typically includes languages such as Python, Java, and C/C++, as well as tools and frameworks used in data science, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, information security, and cloud computing.

How long does it take to complete the B.S. in Computer Science degree?

The B.S. in Computer Science is structured as a four-year undergraduate degree for full-time students.

Do I need to have a background in math to be successful in the computer science program?

Comfort with mathematics is helpful, but students develop the math foundations they need as part of the program. Computer science relies on logical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills—abilities that are strengthened through coursework in the curriculum.
