The computer science program is accredited by the
Computing Accreditation Commission
of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone 410-347-7700 .
Program accreditation has been in effect since 1987.
The curriculum of the computer science program is modeled according to the
recommendations of the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the
IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS). It incorporates
course work ranging across the computing sciences, including computing theory and algorithms,
computer hardware logic and architecture, systems software including both compilers and
operating systems, data structures and object-oriented design, data modeling and simulation
modeling, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and networks. All students also take a
capstone course in software development which incorporates current thinking regarding
ethical computing practice with software
theory and techniques from across the curriculum as reflective of the professional working
environment.
Graduates of the program are prepared to enter careers covering a large part of today's
world of computing. This includes systems development and programming at all levels of
application, greatly enhanced by practicing experience with computer-based modeling
in its many forms, algorithms and software structures, working knowledge of computer graphics,
communications systems and networks (including the internet), standard systems software, and
the underlying computer hardware and its organization.
