BA/BS in Computer Science

This bachelor's program in computer science builds skills in designing and implementing software systems as part of a collaborative team. Students sharpen their problem solving by applying algorithms to demanding challenges. Electives or a cyber security concentration let students move toward the area that interests them, and minors in subjects such as business, data science or mathematics are common companions. The degree carries a STEM designation, and a combined five-year bachelor's and master's route is available. Undergraduates at Worcester Polytechnic Institute also take part in project-based learning, with the chance to complete real projects for outside organizations. Options such as a minor, a concentration or a combined bachelor's and master's route let students shape the degree around their own goals, and the university's career services help graduates move into jobs or further study.
