About the course

The BS in Computer Science draws its foundation from a number of disciplines, requiring students to utilize concepts from different fields. At the core of the curriculum, students learn to integrate computer science theory with practice. In a field that evolves as rapidly as computer science, the program focuses on preparing students for long-term learning that enables them to not only understand today’s technologies, but also understand how to tackle challenges of the future. Students in the program choose a concentration or focus area, which allows a deep exploration of a particular sub-discipline or application domain.

　　Graduates of the Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science, with concentration in Theory and Computation, will be able to:

　　Design computational solutions to real-world problems, and encode these using a variety of programming languages and paradigms

　　Apply theoretical foundations of computing, including automata theory and complexity theory and call upon such knowledge to design efficient solutions

　　Design effective assembly language and systems-level programs, applying knowledge of the basic organization of computing hardware as appropriate

　　Recognize and employ a range of standard algorithms, data structures, and design patterns, and weigh their advantages and disadvantages to design efficient solutions

　　Employ modern software development processes, which include eliciting, analyzing, and specifying requirements, design specification, testing, and verification

　　Work effectively on multidisciplinary teams to solve complex problems

　　Use knowledge of the social, legal, ethical, and cultural issues inherent in the discipline of computing to guide decisions in real-world situations

　　Effectively communicate technical information to a broad audience

　　Understand how mathematical concepts such as formal logic, automata, and models of computation form the theoretical foundation of computer science and use such knowledge to answer fundamental questions on computation

　　Apply computational methods which are widely used in many areas of mathematics, including linear algebra, graph theory, differential equations, algebra, theorem proving, and algorithmic analysis. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
