BA/BS in Computer Science

The Computer Science program at Sonoma State University leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and is listed in the university's general catalog for the current academic year. Students work toward the degree alongside the university's broader general education curriculum, which sits next to the major coursework. The major prepares students to design, build and evaluate software and computing systems. The curriculum is organized around a core of required courses and further electives chosen in consultation with faculty advisors. Learning outcomes published in the catalog emphasize software design and engineering, algorithmic reasoning, tool selection, teamwork and ethical judgment. Graduates of this program go on to a range of careers and further study that build on the habits of mind the major develops. Prospective students should read the catalog entry for current course lists, advising notes and degree rules before planning a schedule.
