There are basically four areas of computer science offered at this school. Students choosing the Computer Science Option will receive training far beyond the ability to write programs that work. Software engineers must construct program systems that work efficiently and are comprehensible so that modification can be performed effectively when required.
Software maintenance is as much a part of software engineering as the creation of new software.
Information Systems Option - This option generally leads to a career as a systems analyst, information system manager or software project manager. These positions are responsible for choosing the right hardware and software for a particular data-processing problem and for organizing the database in a suitable form. A significant portion of the courses for this option also will address the concepts of software engineering and software project management as they apply to the development of large-scale software systems. A growing number of systems analysts also design and maintain computer networks. This option is for a student who is not sure which option to choose, but would like to major in Computer Science.
