What You'll Study

The undergraduate major in computer science offers a broad and rigorous training for students interested in the science of computing. The track structure of the CS program also allows you to pursue the area(s) of CS you find most interesting while giving you a solid overall foundation in the field. As part of the CS major, students complete a set of core courses that provide a foundation in CS theory and systems. Students also choose a track (concentration area) to gain greater depth in a particular area of computing. The track can be chosen from among the following: Artificial Intelligence, Biocomputation, Computer Engineering, Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Information, Systems, Theory, or Unspecialized.
