In this program, students learn how to apply contemporary technologies and techniques to develop and maintain small, medium, and large application software. The computing courses focus on using programming languages to construct these software applications for a variety of hardware and software platforms and networks (including the Internet and intranets). Students also learn essential techniques in the closely related subjects such as systems analysis and design, database management, operating systems, and computer networking. Courses in interpersonal communications, business, and liberal arts are also required. Students work individually and in teams using state-of-the –art computing laboratories to complete assignment.
