Bachelor of Computer Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bachelor of Computer Science (abbreviated B.CompSc. or B.CS.) is a type bachelor's degree, usually awarded after four years of collegiate study in computer science. The same core curriculum may, depending on the school, result in other degrees, including:

• Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science

[edit] Typical Degree Requirements

Since Computer Science is such a wide field, required Computer Science Degree courses varies. Here is a typical list of standard courses with most Computer Science Degree requires. ^{[citation needed]}

• Programming Principles
• Algorithms
• Data Structures
• Logic and Computation

Some schools which place more emphasis on Mathematics will have more required mathematics courses such as:

• Linear Algebra
• Calculus
• Statistics
• Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics

Beyond the basic set of Computer Science courses, typically students can choose courses from a large variety of different fields, such as^{[citation needed]}:

• Theory of computation
• Operating Systems
• Numerical computation
• Computer architecture
• Compilers
• Software Engineering
• Databases
• Real-time computing
• Distributed system
• Computer Networking
• Data Communication
• Computer Graphics
• Artificial Intelligence
• Multimedia
• Internet computing
