BA/BS in Computer Science

The Computer Science major is organized around the core knowledge areas of the discipline and prepares students to enter the technology workforce or move on to professional graduate study. Learners combine theory with hands-on work in software development, data structures, algorithms and computer organization. They also reflect on how technological change affects society and practice professional technical writing and speaking. This STEM degree is run by the department for computer and information sciences. Students can take it on the main St. Louis campus and at select international campuses, and a portion of the credits must be earned at Webster. As a bachelor's degree, it follows the university's baccalaureate rules, which combine the major with Global Citizenship Program courses and free electives. Transfer students and those weighing campus options should speak with an academic advisor. Applications are submitted online, and transcripts can be sent electronically to the admissions office. Course listings change by catalog year, so the current catalog should guide planning.
