Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Computer Science
Computer science has led to revolutionary innovations in entertainment, the humanities, health care, business, the news media, communications, education, scientific research, and the arts. Although it is a relatively young field, computer science has produced many of the advances of modern life that we now take for granted. It has given medical researchers tools to understand and cure diseases, helped biologists decipher the human genome, has created new paradigms for how people interact with social networks and smartphones, and has created automatic language translation systems and self-driving cars. In the near future, artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things will likely further transform our society beyond our imagination.
