The overall goal of the programme is to provide broad-based education to computer science students who will produce graduates equipped to apply best practices in software design, research and implementation to a wide range of software and computer systems in organizations.
BSc. Computer Science
These high-level technologists are the driving force behind the advancement of modern computing. Merging deep technical acumen, creativity and scientific research skills, computer scientists invent new information systems and improve upon existing ones. Computer scientists work in a variety of industries, notably hardware and software design companies, the federal government (especially in the defense sector), IT research firms, and academia.
