Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The BS Computer Science (BSCS) program includes the study of computing concepts and theories, algorithmic foundations, and new developments in computing. The program prepares students to design and create algorithmically complex software and develop new and effective algorithms for solving computing problems.
The program also includes the study of the standards and practices in Software Engineering. It prepares students to acquire skills and disciplines requires for designing, writing and modifying software components, modules and applications that comprise software solutions.

The BSCS program has two specialization tracks:
Digital Forensics
The Digital Forensics (DF) specialization exposes students to the scientific process of acquiring, authenticating, and analyzing digital evidence. The goal of Digital Forensics is to gather artifacts as evidence to support or refute a hypothesis about an alleged crime or policy violation. In this specialization, students will be provided with both theoretical and hands-on experience using forensic hardware and software tools.
Machine Learning
The Machine Learning (ML) specialization introduces students to a broad cross-section of models and algorithms for machine learning and provides them with the skills to discover new information from volumes of data. It is focused on finding patterns by applying their knowledge in computing, predictive models, and data science. In this program, students will be equipped with theoretical concepts and real life applications of the benefits of analysis of data in various forms and other disciplines.
