Course description

The Computer Science program is focused on helping students gain the necessary skills requisite to being productive leaders in the computing and related industries. As such, our graduates are expected to be highly competent, well-qualified computer professionals, having a broad training in software development, as well as being well prepared for graduate study.

The Computer Science program seeks to work in close cooperation with the computing industry, as well as with other universities and alumni, to provide a modern Computer Science curriculum. The cooperative environment will be evidenced, for example, by the creation of partnerships with regional and international universities and institutions and a seminar series with speakers drawn from both academia and industry.

The Computer Science curriculum is designed according to ACM/IEEE recommendations. It enables students to meet the following skill or competency-based student outcomes and show mastery of computer science knowledge and skills:

*demonstrate an understanding of and ability to apply current theories, models, techniques and technologies that provide a basis for problem solving;
*work as an effective individual and as part of a team to develop and deliver quality software;
*communicate effectively both orally and in writing;
*be aware of key ethical issues affecting computer science and the responsibilities of computer science professionals;
*learn new theories, models, techniques and technologies as they emerge and appreciate the necessity of such continuing professional development.

Some of our graduates have gone on and successfully completed postgraduate degree programs in prestigious universities in the USA and Europe such as Stanford University, MIT and Johns Hopkins University in the USA, and Oxford University and University College, London in the UK. Others have joined international companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Accenture. Still others have established their own successful software development companies such as Telerik, Melon, EastiSoft, MammothDB and Transmetrics.
