In addition to Computer Science courses, the Department's undergraduate program requires students to be educated in a broad range of general education courses. These teams design, implement, test, and maintain actual software systems. The Computer Science faculty has a broad range of scholarly interests. Faculty are not only actively doing research in these areas, but they also integrate their research experiences with the classroom experiences of undergraduate and graduate students. Computer Science graduates from UMR work in a variety of environments not only around the work but also in size.
Some graduates work for large companies, while others prefer smaller companies.
Many of our graduates have started their own companies. Regardless of their choice of employment, UMR Computer Science graduates are in high demand as evidence by the number of companies who specifically recruit our graduates. A Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science prepares the student for graduate school or industry to work as a software engineer, systems programmer, systems integrator, or as an applications programmer. The minimum number of credit hours needed to graduate is 130. There are numerous undergraduate courses in Computer Science from which to choose.
