The 计算机科学系 offers majors and minors in computer 科学 (CS),
computer security (Sec), information technology (IT), and additional minors in bioinformatics,
机器人，网页设计和编程.
计算机科学领域
计算机科学 explores programming and theoretical foundations of computing with emphasis on algorithms
以及数学原理. 计算机科学家致力于开发新的设计
硬件和软件. 计算机科学专业的学生准备从事软件开发或其他方面的工作
计算机领域的研究生课程. 如果你梦想设计太空任务
在NASA，这可以成为你的起点!
计算机安全 deals with major challenges experienced whenever computers are used, in all sectors
of life: small businesses, large corporations, 组织, law enforcement, the
军队和政府. 计算机安全专家分析和抵制
threats to networks and computer systems, detect intrusions and assure privacy. 这
work is highly valued and demand for professionals with such an expertise is expected
只为成长. To work in computer security, one needs a very rigorous preparation
包括硬件和软件的基础知识.
信息技术 is concerned with forming and maintaining computing environments for businesses and
组织. 信息rmation technicians chose and configure 硬件和软件,
monitor performance and security of databases, web servers and computer networks.
If 你 dream about providing computing support at the 21st century level, IT is for
你. IT technicians are sought in health care, financial or educational services,
商业和制造业. 由于我们的IT专业只需要很少的学分，
它可以很容易地作为第二专业.
就业前景
According to recent job market analysis, computing jobs form one of the fastest growing
细分市场，并将在未来几年保持这一地位. 因为安全
concerns, most current and future computing jobs will not be subject to outsourcing
-他们将留在该国. 总之，计算机科学，计算机安全
信息技术是很好的职业选择.
哪个专业最适合你?
If 你 like programming, problem solving and math, choose the CS major. 如果你
如果你想让它更强大，那就加Sec或it辅修吧.
如果你喜欢解决问题和数学，选择Sec专业. 如果你想做
如果更强，可以添加CS或it辅修.
If 你 like problem solving or are not sure what major to choose, start with the IT
major — it requires a smaller number of credits and gives 你 flexible options:
- 之后你可以切换到CS或者Sec Major.
- If 你 decide to build more strength in IT, 你 can add Sec or CS Minor.
- 你可以添加第二个专业. IT B的40个学分.A. 应该还是相当的
易于完成. 但是如果你愿意的话，你可以把IT专业换成辅修专业. 你的
knowledge and skills in IT will nicely complement those of another area and will be
当你开始找工作的时候，很有市场.
- Because of an overlap in requirements for CS, Sec and IT majors, it is easy to switch
在一个学期从一个专业转到另一个专业之后.
- 在计算学科的情况下，a B.S. (理学学士)学位更多
比B更受尊敬.A. (Bachelor of Arts); a B.A. 版本的计算机专业是典型的
只用作第二专业.
- Double majors are encouraged, but 你 cannot choose two of the CS, Sec and IT majors,
因为他们共享许多课程.
- To strengthen a computing major, add a minor in another area of computing. 在
case of minors in IT, CS or Sec, 6-7 credits can be counted towards both the major
and the minor, so instead of taking 18–22 credits for the minor, 你 need only 12–15.
主修和辅修课程所需学分
All require 33 general education credits in addition to credits toward the major.
计算机专业:
- 计算机科学专业(B).S. — 58 cr.B。.A. — 49 cr.)
- 证券专业(B).S. — 56 cr.)
- 资讯科技专业(B).S. — 52 cr.B。.A. — 40 cr.)

- 网页设计和编程辅修(12-18学分). 到少校)
Some of our 学生 choose a double major, or a major and a minor, or even a major
and two minors; they enroll in the honors program or write a thesis for an advanced
荣誉项目. They 也 register as teaching assistants at our department or work
作为学习中心的导师. 我们鼓励你从一开始就考虑
你如何让自己与众不同.
