Making the impossible possible—computer scientists thrive on it.
Whether you’re pursuing a path in computer science or information systems, you’ll learn how to innovate and apply technology to solve the problems of today and tomorrow.


Computer Science Minor
Sometimes you want to try something out before you commit to a four-year degree, and we get that, which is one of the many reasons we offer a computer science minor. You’ll get a good introduction to the area, which will also serve as a great résumé booster. Any student not majoring in computer science is eligible to earn this minor.
