BA/BS in Computer Science

Tennessee State University houses this bachelor's degree in its Department of Computer Science. Coursework surveys computing broadly: machine organization, software construction, the design and analysis of algorithms, plus the workings of databases, networks and data communication. The study plan also weaves in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Three concentrations let students specialize. One centers on Bioinformatics, another pairs Cybersecurity with Networking, and the third is Data Science. ABET's computing accreditation body has accredited the degree. The department points to working relationships with businesses and government bodies. Alumni have taken positions in software engineering, robotics, cloud computing, security for networks, and systems or application programming. Enrolled students can find the catalog, graduation requirements, academic calendar, tutoring and scholarship notices through the department.
