The second advantage of accreditation is that it increases the real market value of the B.S. in Computer Science. They may give better job titles as well. Most of our equipment is connected in a local area network and to the worldwide Internet. The Department maintains a network of compute servers running the UNIX operating system. Students on campus access this network largely through X-Windows graphics terminals, provided in offices and a large laboratory.
Students have access to a laser printer.
Specialized software packages that support teaching and research are available on the network. These services are limited to accounts issued to Computer Science majors. The department hires student tutors to staff our laboratories and to help students with course work. This help is available for twelve hours each week day and eight hours each weekend day in the Department laboratory. As you progress in the major you may be eligible to be a tutor.
