As society becomes immersed in the Information Age, the computing discipline has become widely entangled with other disciplines.
Computer scientists are more than just programmers.
They work to solve problems from all walks of life. One may be involved in science exploring the mysteries of the universe and another may be involved in medical research. A computer scientist may be solving problems with engineers in design and implementation projects while another makes extensive use of computers in music, art, or business information processing. Because computer science is ever-changing and closely interacts with other disciplines, it is important that computer science programs encompass a broad range of topics, such as programming and programming languages, hardware and software systems design, and formal languages and computation theory. The computer science degree programs at Baylor represent these topics in its curriculum.
