The major in computer science at Berry College provides students with a solid background in general computer science. It begins with a course in programming but the curriculum includes a great deal mor than just programming. In order to write effective programs it is necessary to know about different data structures, algorithms, and the management of complexity.
Computer science is a relatively recent discipline that is constantly evolving.
An undergraduate degree in computer science provides the broad background and training to enable a student to continue to grow with the discipline as it evolves. Formal reasoning abilities, including analysis, synthesis, organization, and abstraction are necessary. Most people that do well in math courses also do well in computer science courses. Computer programming is the obvious skill that you will develop. As a corollary, you will hone your problem solving skills.
