BA/BS in Computer Science

Nova Southeastern University's computer science bachelor's degree gives undergraduates a grounding in how computer systems work and how software is designed. The curriculum follows recommendations from a leading computing professional association and is accredited by the computing commission of ABET. Students study data structures, algorithms, architecture, databases, user interaction, operating systems, languages for programming and engineering of software. Laboratory facilities and practical projects help connect theory to real problems, and sample courses include networks and data communication and computer organization. Internships with technology companies, experiential learning and a dual admission option for graduate and professional programs round out the experience. The hosting college is also recognized nationally for teaching information assurance. The program site lists the curriculum, learning outcomes and minors, so applicants can see how the major fits their plans.
