Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

About

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science degree is for students interested in learning the principles, applications, and technologies of computing and computers. The practical side of computing can be seen in virtually all disciplines, as nearly everyone is a computer user.

Earning a B.S. in Computer Science enables you to go beyond being a user and to learn to develop technological solutions to problems that range from everyday tasks to complex problems such as a self-driving car.

Computer science, in its essence, can be thought of as problem-solving. Computing professionals must be adept at modeling and analyzing problems and then design and develop solutions. Computer science has a wide range of specialties, including artificial intelligence, computer architecture, computer graphics, computer networks, computer vision, databases, data mining, data streaming, deep learning, distributed computing, game design and development, hardware systems, human-computer interaction, information security, parallel computing, quantum computing, software engineering, web design and development, and many others. This degree prepares you to enter challenging computing careers in the workplace or to embark on postgraduate programs in computer science.

The Computer Science BS-TSAP program (60 credit hours at IU South Bend) is designed specifically for Ivy Tech graduates transferring to IU South Bend with an Associate of Science degree (60 transfer credits).
