BA/BS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This undergraduate major in the College of Arts and Sciences starts computing coursework early. Students examine the principles behind computer science and mathematics, along with the methods, theories and software used in practice. The program aims to equip graduates to adapt as technology changes. Typical destinations include software development, analyzing systems, managing databases, consulting, engineering and biomedical fields. Ethics runs through the courses, with attention to applying technology for the public good. Internships generally start in the junior year, both locally in Milwaukee and around the country. Because the university helped found a data science institute backed by Northwestern Mutual, students can reach events, networking and placements in data analytics. Adding a second major or minor is common in this college. The page also lists the classes students will take.
