Degree Programs
There are five major degree programs of study offered by the Division of Computer Science, Mathematics and Science which address the mainstream needs of careers in the broad fields of Computer Science, Cyber Security Systems, Healthcare Informatics, Information Technology, and Telecommunications. Each of these majors can be paired with a choice from several options, providing the students with the ability to concentrate on important and relevant areas that help prepare them for positions that meet their interests and aptitudes. One very popular minor option is in business, which provides many background courses needed for admission to a master of business administration degree program.
The following degree programs have been accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org
