Become a contributor for free to openly demonstrate student outcomes, industry alignment & eligibility criteria.

The major in computer science provides students with the necessary training for employment in careers such as software development and information management. It provides good preparation for graduate study in a variety of disciplines. Students may declare a major in computer science when they are admitted to the university or afterward. They may declare either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, but if no preference is indicated by a student, the Bachelor of Arts is designated.

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Comprehensive course materials including syllabi, project scaffolding, and assessment instruments — autonomously design and continuously refine for both undergraduate and graduate computer science programs.
  • Advanced lectures on specialized topics such as machine learning, systems architecture, or distributed computing — prepare and deliver with pedagogical sophistication to mixed undergraduate and graduate audiences.
  • Complex student work including research papers, capstone projects, and graduate theses — evaluate rigorously and provide substantive developmental feedback aligned with professional and scholarly standards.
  • Full examination cycles — independently compile, administer, statistically analyze, and use results to inform iterative improvements to course design in a postsecondary CS department.
  • Multiyear student academic records and longitudinal grade data — manage with precision, using institutional data systems to identify patterns and support student success interventions.
  • Curricula and course content across multiple CS courses — systematically evaluate and revise using evidence-based instructional strategies and alignment with accreditation standards such as ABET.
  • Structured advisement and mentorship — provide to undergraduate and graduate students navigating research pathways, internship opportunities, and career trajectories in computing fields.
  • Applied computing tools including object-oriented development environments, database interfaces, and video creation software — integrate purposefully into course delivery to model professional practice.
  • Non-routine pedagogical challenges such as diverse learner needs or rapidly evolving technology topics — diagnose and resolve using adaptive instructional strategies in a live university classroom.
  • Contributions to departmental scholarship — sustain through active participation in peer-reviewed publication, grant development, or applied research projects relevant to computer science education.
