Program Description

Study computer science, and you'll learn how to analyze a problem and find a computational solution. A BS in Computer Science can help you prepare for a career in software development, programming, research, network administration, web development, and much more.

With 48 hours of computer science courses, the Bachelor of Science (BS) offers students a more technical route than the Bachelor of Arts (BA), which requires 36 hours. Your coursework will include math and natural sciences, and core courses such as Discrete Structures, Automated and Formal Languages, and Programming Languages will give you a foundation in designing, building, and understanding computer-based systems, processes, and programs. Honors students may wish to research, write, and publish a formal scientific report or give an oral presentation. You'll even be able to earn a teaching certification in mathematics through UABTeach and apply your STEM knowledge in the classroom. The ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science with a Major in Computer Science degree is for students desiring more in-depth exploration of computer science (48 hours of CS in the B.S. in contrast to 36 hours in the B.A.), along with ABET accreditation through an increased level of math and natural sciences. The program educational objectives of the UAB B.S. degree program in Computer Science are to produce graduates who will be equipped to:

1. apply knowledge and skills in computer science to solve diverse and unique problems arising from real-world applications,
2. continuously acquire knowledge and skills, both theoretical and applied, related to core areas of computer science,
3. work productively as professionals (e.g., careers in both public and private sectors, graduate school, academia) by:
   1. demonstrating effective use of oral and written communication,
   2. working competently as a member of a team unit,
   3. adhering to ethical standards in the profession.
