It is the goal of the Computer Science program to produce graduates who:

• are successful professionals in industry and graduate school,
• are life-long learners and keep current in their professional field, and
• perform ethically and professionally in industry and society.

To achieve the program goals of the Computer Science program, we will provide students with the opportunity to develop:

• an ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline,
• an ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution,
• an ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs,
• an ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal,
• an understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities ,
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences,
• an ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society,
• to recognize the need for and demonstrate an ability to engage in continuing professional development,
• an ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice,
• an ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices, and
• an ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software system of varying complexity in a variety of language platform.
