Computer Science, BCS


Computer scientists study computers: their design, their use for computation and control, and especially their software components. Computer scientists can perform roles ranging from systems design and architecture through software design, development and maintenance, through analysis and research. Often, software developers will have a degree in computer science. An essential element of computer science is the mathematical and theoretical foundation of computing and software. As one of the most rapidly developing and expanding fields, computer science offers a wide range of career choices. Through the Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering at California Baptist University the Computer Science degree program is accredited through the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
