Introduction

Computer science is the discipline concerned with the design, implementation, and maintenance of the computer systems used in almost all other professions. Computer scientists must be well grounded in the technologies needed for the acquisition, representation, storage, transmission, transformation, and use of information in digital form and must be capable of working closely with members of other professions associated with computing.

Course Work

The Computer Science Department offers all courses designated CS in the "Course Descriptions" chapter of this catalog as well as some of the IT courses.
