Overview of Courses
In addition to completing an internship for practical experience, our program’s curriculum includes core courses from computer science and related disciplines for a solid foundation in computer science. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:
- Introduction to Programming
This course is an introduction to concepts and terminology in computer programming, including interface building and problem-solving techniques in various programming environments. Emphasis is placed on the basics of software design and on elementary applications to mathematics and other disciplines.
- Computer Organization
This course introduces the topics of digital logic, digital systems, machine level representation of data, assembly level machine organization, memory system organization, I/O, and communication.
- Data Structures & Algorithms
This course covers the basics of data structures, such as abstract data types, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. Applications to a number of problems, both practical and theoretical, are studied, including sorting, searching, and changing from recursion to iteration.
- Programming Languages
This course explores the design and implementation of procedural, object-oriented, and logic programing language paradigms in modern computer systems. Topics include parameters, data types, abstraction, storage issues, and static/dynamic attributes.
