Undergraduate Studies

 

WMU'S Department of Computer Science offers students the choice of two major programs and two minor programs.

With our Theory and Analysis major, students earn a 'Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Theory and Analysis'. This program has been accredited by the the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone (410) 347-7700. It provides a rigorous study of computer science and related areas (including a minor in mathematics). This degree is recommended for students who plan to pursue advanced degrees in computer science, who are interested in doing research in the computing sciences, and those seeking employment with companies which produce computer hardware or software.

Our alternative General C.S. major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. (This program also requires a mathematics minor). This program of study will prepare students who wish to work as programmers or in product development and support areas of companies whose major products are not directly related to computer hardware or software.

The Department also offers two different C.S. minors, a science option minor (e.g., for Physics, Engineering, Math, etc. majors) and a general option minor (e.g., for Communications, Sociology, Business, etc. majors).
