Computer and Information Sciences

The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science prepares the citizen-soldier for civic and professional life through disciplined engagement with computing theory and practice.

Graduates will have the ability to:

1. Apply computer science, software development, and security knowledge and skills in all phases of the life cycle of a computing system [Student Outcomes 1, 2, and 6].

2. Employ effective computational thinking, teamwork, and communication skills grounded in legal and ethical principles in their computer practice [Student Outcomes 3, 4, and 5].

3. Continue intellectual and professional growth with an attitude of leadership and a high sense of public service [Student Outcomes 5].
 

Each new cadet is assigned a departmental advisor who provides the necessary guidance and support throughout the Cadetship.

Student Outcomes:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program discipline.
6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.

The computer science curriculum was revised effective the class of 2022. Please note all descriptions to assure correct offerings are scheduled based on matriculation program.
