BA/BS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This major surveys the central ideas behind computing, such as coding languages, the organization of data, algorithm design, engineering of software, how computers are structured, operating systems, database work and networking. The aim is a balanced understanding of hardware, software and the digital tools built on both. Organizations of every kind depend on people who can put technology to work for daily operations and long-range planning, so the degree speaks to students who like technical challenges. Associate and minor versions of the subject sit alongside the bachelor's degree. Students can choose between campus-based and online study. The published requirement is 52 credit hours, counting program-specific courses only, with general education and total degree hours tallied separately. Tuition is listed at $220 per credit hour. The program page at University of the Cumberlands also links to faculty profiles, career outcomes, mission and goals, and frequently asked questions, and visitors can request information or start an application from there.
