Description
The Computer Science program is designed to provide students with solid theoretical foundations of information and computation, and practical techniques in design and implementation of applications in computer systems. The program provides a balance between the standards of problem-solving techniques and hands-on projects of system implementation. This program demonstrates and focuses on skills in critical thinking, project development, independent study, and research in different fields in Computer Science as well.
