The program offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. This program requires 75 credit hours of computer science, mathematics and physics. The mathematics courses required for this program meet the requirements for a mathematics minor. Requirements for a physics minor may be met by taking one additional physics course.
All students, regardless of major, are required to satisfy general education requirements of approximately 50 hours. A total of 125 hours is required for graduation.
Our Bachelor of Science program has achieved national recognition through accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (
www.ABET.org). Only one other institution in Missouri has achieved this. Accreditation recognizes that the department's faculty, student support, curriculum, objectives, computing resources and institutional support all meet or exceed the accreditation board's rigorous criteria. Accreditation, a talented and dedicated faculty and small classes all indicate our commitment to high quality education.
The Computer Science Department also offers a Computer Science emphasis in the interdisciplinary Master's of Natural and Applied Sciences program (MNAS). This program enables students to gain expertise in an application area while doing graduate level study in Computer Science.
