It can accommodate students who plan to enter the profession directly from college or who plan to continue with graduate study. The program is continuously revised to keep it up to date. The department recommends that all computer science majors pursue a minor in some field.<\/p>\nMission<\/strong><\/p>\nConsistent with the university\u2019s mission of being an accessible, responsive, and creative intellectual resource for the people and institutions of Connecticut, the department\u2019s mission is to offer a broad and up-to-date curriculum that provides students with a comprehensive foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technology and new ideas.<\/p>\nGoals<\/strong><\/p>\nTo accomplish this mission the Department of Computer Science emphasizes the following:<\/p>\n\nTechnical understanding of Computer Science<\/strong>: Graduates will have a mastery of Computer Science as described in the Body of Knowledge of the current ACM\/IEEE Computing Curricula.<\/li>\nCommon themes and principles<\/strong>: Graduates will understand a number of recurring themes, such as abstraction, complexity, and evolutionary change, and a set of general principles, such as sharing a common resource, security, and concurrency, and will recognize that these themes and principles have broad application to the field of computer science and are not relevant only to the domains in which they were introduced.<\/li>\nThe interplay between theory and practice<\/strong>: Graduates will understand the interplay between theory and practice and how theory and practice influence each other.<\/li>\nSystem-level perspective<\/strong>: Graduates will be able to think at multiple levels of detail and abstraction. They will be able to recognize the context in which a computer system may function, including its interactions with people and the physical world.<\/li>\nProblem-solving skills<\/strong>: Graduates will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to solve real problems. They will realize that there are multiple solutions to a given problem and that selecting among them is not a purely technical activity, as these solutions will have a real impact on people\u2019s lives. Graduates will be able to communicate their solution to others, including why and how a solution solves the problem and what assumptions were made.<\/li>\nProject experience<\/strong>: Graduates will have been involved in at least one substantial software development project, requiring evaluation of potential solutions, work on a larger scale, integration of modules, and providing opportunities to develop their interpersonal communication skills.<\/li>\nCommitment to life-long learning<\/strong>: Graduates will realize that the computing field advances at a rapid pace and that they must continue to learn and adapt their skills throughout their careers. To develop this ability, students will be exposed to multiple programming languages, tools, and technologies as well as the fundamental underlying principles throughout their course of study.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nDegree Programs in Computing <\/strong><\/h2>\nBachelor of\u00a0Science in Computer Science\nBachelor of Arts in Applied Computing<\/p>\nMinor Programs<\/p>\nComputer Science\nDigital Media\nInformatics\nSecurity\nWeb Development<\/p>\nInterdisciplinary Program<\/p>\nBachelor of Arts in Digital and Interactive Media Arts (B.A.)\n(See the Department of Communication & Media Arts for requirements – http:\/\/catalogs.wcsu.edu\/ugrad1819\/sas\/programs\/communication\/<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\nBachelor of\u00a0Science in Computer Science (B.S.)<\/h3>\nRequirements:<\/p>\nStudents must complete all general education competency requirements (see program sheet for details), the course and credits listed below and additional free electives to total a minimum of 120 semester hours, including foreign language and exercise science.\u00a0 A GPA of 2.5 or better is required in the CS major and math courses for graduation.<\/p>\nRequired Courses:<\/p>\nCS 140 Introduction to Programming<\/p>\nCS 170 Language C++\nCS 205 Data Modeling and Database Design\nCS 215 Computer Architecture\nCS 221 Object Oriented Programming & Data Structures\nCS 240 Computer Organization & Software\nCS 315 Design and Analysis of Algorithms\nCS 350 Object Oriented Software Engineering\nor CS 305 Database Applications Engineering\nor CS 360 Distributed Applications Engineering\nCS 355 Programming Languages\nCS 450 Operating Systems\nMAT 141 Foundational Discrete Mathematics\nMAT 181 Calculus I\nMAT 222 Introductory Statistics\nMAT 304 Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science\nCS\/MAT 359 Introduction to Theory of Computation\nTwelve semester hours of approved computer science electives.<\/p>\nCourse Restrictions <\/strong>\nFor a complete list of prerequisites, corequisites and other restrictions for all courses, please consult the Course Description section of this catalog.<\/p>\nThe following is a per-semester sequence of courses.

They will be able to recognize the context in which a computer system may function, including its interactions with people and the physical world.<\/li>\nProblem-solving skills<\/strong>: Graduates will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to solve real problems. They will realize that there are multiple solutions to a given problem and that selecting among them is not a purely technical activity, as these solutions will have a real impact on people\u2019s lives. Graduates will be able to communicate their solution to others, including why and how a solution solves the problem and what assumptions were made.<\/li>\nProject experience<\/strong>: Graduates will have been involved in at least one substantial software development project, requiring evaluation of potential solutions, work on a larger scale, integration of modules, and providing opportunities to develop their interpersonal communication skills.<\/li>\nCommitment to life-long learning<\/strong>: Graduates will realize that the computing field advances at a rapid pace and that they must continue to learn and adapt their skills throughout their careers.

The Bachelor of\u00a0Science in Computer Science (CS) degree is designed to meet the needs of students interested in software development. It can accommodate students who plan to enter the profession directly from college or who plan to continue with graduate study. The program is continuously revised to keep it up to date. The department recommends that all computer science majors pursue a minor in some field.<\/p>\n
Mission<\/strong><\/p>\nConsistent with the university\u2019s mission of being an accessible, responsive, and creative intellectual resource for the people and institutions of Connecticut, the department\u2019s mission is to offer a broad and up-to-date curriculum that provides students with a comprehensive foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technology and new ideas.<\/p>\nGoals<\/strong><\/p>\nTo accomplish this mission the Department of Computer Science emphasizes the following:<\/p>\n\nTechnical understanding of Computer Science<\/strong>: Graduates will have a mastery of Computer Science as described in the Body of Knowledge of the current ACM\/IEEE Computing Curricula.<\/li>\nCommon themes and principles<\/strong>: Graduates will understand a number of recurring themes, such as abstraction, complexity, and evolutionary change, and a set of general principles, such as sharing a common resource, security, and concurrency, and will recognize that these themes and principles have broad application to the field of computer science and are not relevant only to the domains in which they were introduced.<\/li>\nThe interplay between theory and practice<\/strong>: Graduates will understand the interplay between theory and practice and how theory and practice influence each other.<\/li>\nSystem-level perspective<\/strong>: Graduates will be able to think at multiple levels of detail and abstraction. They will be able to recognize the context in which a computer system may function, including its interactions with people and the physical world.<\/li>\nProblem-solving skills<\/strong>: Graduates will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to solve real problems. They will realize that there are multiple solutions to a given problem and that selecting among them is not a purely technical activity, as these solutions will have a real impact on people\u2019s lives. Graduates will be able to communicate their solution to others, including why and how a solution solves the problem and what assumptions were made.<\/li>\nProject experience<\/strong>: Graduates will have been involved in at least one substantial software development project, requiring evaluation of potential solutions, work on a larger scale, integration of modules, and providing opportunities to develop their interpersonal communication skills.<\/li>\nCommitment to life-long learning<\/strong>: Graduates will realize that the computing field advances at a rapid pace and that they must continue to learn and adapt their skills throughout their careers.
