Bachelor of Science, Computer Science
Program Description
The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science at Warren National University is designed to provide a background in programming, programming concepts and operating systems software. Specific courses provide students with a sample of the most current programming techniques, including C, C++, Pascal and Java, and allow understanding in the use of other programming languages. Courses in architecture, data structures, software development and engineering, and computer networks are offered to enhance students’ understanding of software development and provide an understanding of the theory involved in computer systems development. Programming languages and compilers, and artificial intelligence provide the core of the advanced subject matter.
Program Objectives
In addition to the objectives listed for the School of Technology bachelor-level degree program, upon graduation, Computer Science students will be able to:
- Make appropriate system choices for efficient and usable computer networks
- Evaluate software or hardware solutions to determine the best choice for a given situation
- Apply software development fundamentals, validation, and maintenance to include the software development process
- Implement problem-solving, algorithm development, debugging, revision, and testing programs
- Adhere to professional standards of ethics expected of a computer scientist
- Demonstrate proficiency in computer science at the bachelor's degree level
