BA/BS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

Niagara's bachelor of science in this field gives students a broad grounding in how computing works, then lets them shape the remaining coursework around their own goals. Close advising from faculty helps each student choose a direction. Possible directions include hardware, networking, security of information systems, data science and AI. Graduates can enter many roles across the technology sector or continue into graduate study. Experience outside the classroom matters here. The department keeps ties with technology employers in the region, and many students take paid or credit-bearing internships on or off campus. Students may also join faculty on research projects, some supported by grants, and a number present at research conferences each year. The degree sits within the College of Arts and Sciences.
