Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)
B.Sc. (Computer Science)
THE FIELD
Computer Science is one of promising disciplines for career opportunities. It emphasizes a wide range of computing fields from theoretical foundations to the state-of-the-art technology development in large-scale development of systems and networks, intelligent systems, mobile and Internet programming, and more. Students majoring in Computer Science will receive solid groundings in such areas as programming, algorithm analysis and design, systems development, information management, and computer security.
The Computer Science Program at MUIC offers students the opportunity to become involved in these areas of interest interms of theory, software, and hardware. This includes microprocessors and computer architecture, computer graphics, database systems, distributed systems, computer networks, numerical analysis, operating systems, programming languages, software engineering, artificial intelligence including data warehousing and mining, and information technology management.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The Computer science major is designed to prepare students for the following career paths.
• System development: Jobs in this category includes web development, interface design, security issues, mobile computing, for example. Career opportunities occur in a wide variety of settings including large or small software companies, large or small computer services companies, and large organizations of all kinds (industry, government, banking, healthcare, etc.).
• Innovation of computer technology application: Career opportunities in this area can involve a position in a research university or industrial research and development laboratory, entrepreneurial activity, or a combination of the two.
• Computing solution development: This involves applying and developing computer science theory algorithms for the best possible solutions for computationally intensive problems. Career opportunities typically require graduate work to a Ph.D. level, followed by a position in a research university or an industrial research and development laboratory.
• Organizational technology infrastructure planning and management: This is also the type of work aimed by those who study information technology (IT).
