Computer Science is the study of the theoretical and practical aspects of computer technology and computer usage. The main purpose of CIIT’s BS computer science is to provide students with a durable foundation, with a comprehensive set of electives so that computer scientists can be produced. Computer science major attracts students who are interested in both the mathematical theory and technical applications of computer science. Most employers look for students who are good computer scientists but also understand the tools and techniques of mathematics, science and industry and are able to communicate effectively. The CIIT BS computer science program is also for the mathematically adept student who wishes to become a computing professional with knowledge of relevant applications areas. The degree path emphasizes problem solving using computer program design, analysis and implementation, and includes a theoretical foundation as well as “hand-on” experience.. Computer science covers a wide spectrum of areas within the field of computing, ranging from the theoretical to practical. Computer scientists can specialize in areas such as artificial intelligence, distributed systems, computer graphics, databases, human computer interaction and security. Students take a core of computer science courses that provide a solid foundation for advanced work. Building on this base, students explore a variety of specializations from 6th semester onwards. In addition, students develop a broad appreciation for computer applications and the effects of computers on society via program electives, general education courses, and various free electives, which can be used to complete minors. It is a four years program consisting of eight semesters. The maximum duration for completion of this degree is twelve semesters. The degree is awarded on completion of minimum 133 credit hours, including six credits for the project, with a passing CGPA of at least 2.0/4.0.Show More
