In this challenging and multi-faceted program, students develop both theoretical foundations and applied skills through hands-on labs, workshops, competitions, projects, and internships.

At the time of application for admission, students choose either a:

Computer Science emphasis (120 credit hours) or

Information Systems and Technology emphasis (126 credit hours)
