Guided by the university, college, department, and program mission statements, we've established these goals for the undergraduate computer science program: Graduates should be able to excel in computer science roles using cutting-edge technologies while advancing their careers or furthering their education. They should communicate clearly and work collaboratively with diverse teams across different backgrounds, including race, religion, culture, ethnicity, and gender. They must continuously expand their technical expertise and global awareness of computer science while maintaining strong professional ethics and societal responsibility.

To help students achieve these objectives, the BS in Computer Science program is designed so graduates will demonstrate these competencies: Evaluate complex computing challenges and apply computing principles (and related disciplines) to develop solutions. Create, execute, and assess computing solutions tailored to specific requirements within the field. Communicate professionally in various settings. Understand ethical and legal obligations to make sound decisions in computing practice. Collaborate or lead effectively in team-based projects relevant to the discipline.
