BA/BS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

Computer Science at Lincoln University is available as a Bachelor of Science, a Bachelor of Arts, or a minor. The department prepares students for roles in IT, software development, hardware design, and other technical areas, and it works to broaden participation by under-represented groups. Students learn to design, debug, and test programs in languages such as C++ and Java, analyze algorithms, and apply computational theory alongside mathematics and other disciplines. They also work with databases, data structures, and interface design, and they study computer organization from a software developer's viewpoint. Technical reading and writing are part of the curriculum. The University Catalog describes the course requirements in detail. Students who want a clear view of what the degree involves can look at the course lists in the university catalog and speak with faculty about advising, course planning, and how the major fits their long-term goals. The campus is in Pennsylvania and is a historically Black institution.
