Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - (BSCS)

Introduction

Program Overview

Computer Science is the study of the theoretical and practical aspects of computer technology and computer usage. The main purpose of CUI’s BS computer science is to provide students with a durable foundation, with a comprehensive set of electives so that computer scientists can be produced. Computer science major attracts students who are interested in both the mathematical theory and technical applications of computer science. Most employers look for students who are good computer scientists but also understand the tools and techniques of mathematics, science and industry and are able to communicate effectively. The CUI BS computer science program is also for the mathematically adept student who wishes to become a computing professional with knowledge of relevant applications areas. The degree path emphasizes problem solving using computer program design, analysis and implementation, and includes a theoretical foundation as well as “hand-on” experience..

Computer science covers a wide spectrum of areas within the field of computing, ranging from the theoretical to practical. Computer scientists can specialize in areas such as artificial intelligence, distributed systems, computer graphics, databases, human computer interaction and security.

Students take a core of computer science courses that provide a solid foundation for advanced work. Building on this base, students explore a variety of specializations from 6th semester onwards. In addition, students develop a broad appreciation for computer applications and the effects of computers on society via program electives, general education courses, and various free electives, which can be used to complete minors.

It is a four years program consisting of eight semesters. The maximum duration for completion of this degree is twelve semesters. The degree is awarded on completion of minimum 133 credit hours, including six credits for the project, with a passing CGPA of at least 2.0/4.0.

Scope

Computer science is one of the most charming career oriented field which possesses the immense growth and success in the field. The computer Scientist is able to cope up with lastest computer technologies and concepts. They are able to develop computer software and mobile application which are one of core requirements in the modern era.

As the world is getting modernized and influence of technology has strengthen the grips so it has increased the need of the computer specialist which can operate both hardware and software, so the worth of the computer scientist has been enhanced dramatically in the 21st century.

Goals

The program focuses on instilling comprehensive computer science knowledge among students and exposing them to issues involved in the development of scientific, educational and commercial applications of computer science.
The purpose of BS(CS) program is to produce graduates with a sound knowledge of Computer Science, contemporary technologies, and professional skills & ethics.
