Concentration Areas
2001 - 2003
The computer science curriculum is designed to provide a strong background in software development and prepare students for life-long learning. Concentrations allow students the opportunity to select a group of related courses that are of special interest to them either as a career goal or as a prelude to graduate studies. The concentrations described below represent areas of specialization identified by the Computer Science Department faculty as particularly relevant to current trends in research and applications development in the field of computer science.
