Computer Science
College of Science, Engineering & Technology | Academic Programs
The Computer Science major prepares graduates for positions in computer-related fields and for graduate study. Computer science as a field spans a wide range of topics from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in operating system design and implementation, machine learning, robotics and intelligent systems. In the upper-division program, students earn their degrees by completing four semester-long team projects that come from industry, faculty research, non-profit groups, or their own entrepreneurial ideas.

NACLO
This olympiad is a contest in which high-school students solve linguistic puzzles. In solving the problems, students learn about the diversity and consistency of language, while exercising logic skills.
Computer Science, Bachelor of Science (BS)
The Computer Science Bachelor of Science (BS) prepares students to apply the tools and theory of computer science through project-based learning, with students completing four upper-division projects on their way to graduation.
Computer Science, Software Engineering (BS)
Students transfer into this upper-division program after two years of study elsewhere or at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Study is based on learning software engineering in a work-based environment with industry partners while contributing as team members on real projects.
Computer Science, Minor
The Computer Science minor prepares students to apply the tools and theory of computer science to whatever their major field of study is.
