Designed for students whose major interest is the general study of computer science rather than a particular application area. The BA and BS programs provide students with a broad education in traditional computer science concepts including algorithms, software engineering, computer architecture, programming languages, data stuctures, operating systems, artificial intelligence, and image processing. High proficiency in mathematics and statistics is required as Computer Science is heavily rooted in mathematics. The major educates the next generation of pogrammers, engineers, and IT professionals.

Minors in Computer Science and Information Science and Technology can be completed at TUJ.

Nowadays, computers are an essential part of our professional and personal lives as we rely on them heavily. This makes the skillful people who can effectively control computers highly valuable. Computer Science aims at preparing such professionals by imparting on them the necessary knowledge and skills.

Computer Science studies different aspects of computers. Programming is an important component, but Computer Science is more than that. Theoretical disciplines, such as algorithms and information theory are studied, as well as practical ones like software design. Many additional topics, such as networks, operating systems and databases are also included. High proficiency in mathematics and statistics is required as Computer Science is heavily rooted in mathematics which is used in some disciplines like computer graphics and artificial intelligence.

The skills that computer scientists acquire prepare them to be excellent problem solvers; applying these skills along with their knowledge in computers will make them successful software engineers, data scientists, game developers, machine learning engineers and project managers.
