Different science courses, and fewer humanities and social sciences courses, are required for the Bachelor of Science degree. Program Features Students are the primary focus in the computer science department. They receive individual attention from faculty both in and out of the classroom. A strong commitment to academic advising ensures that all students receive the guidance they need as they select courses and plan for future careers. The computer science department supports a co-op program offering students excellent opportunities to gain practical experience in the computing field and to grow both personally and professionally.
Students receive academic credit, valuable experience and good pay for co-op experiences.
Most computer science students participate in the co-op program each year, but participation is not required. Students also have the opportunity to listen to speakers, participate in activities and share ideas with others interested in computer science by participating in the ACM student chapter. Computer Facilities Extensive and accessible computer equipment is essential for an effective academic program in computer science. BGSU makes available an impressive array of instructional computing equipment including DEC, SGI and SUN systems. The entire campus is on the University's Ethernet backbone, including every residence hall room.
