School of Computing
The computer-science field has demonstrated dramatic growth and technological development within the last decade. The Computer Science and Information Technology (CS/IT) Department is responding to these technological challenges by offering a dynamic course of study that is responsive to the ever-changing field of computer technology.
The CS/IT curriculum has three majors: Computer Science, Information Technology, and Computer Gaming Design and Development. The Computer Science major is geared to those students with strong mathematics and the desire to participate in the research and development side of computer science and also offers a Cybersecurity concentration. The Information Technology major is for those students interested in interface, multimedia, and system design for various business applications and offers a Cybersecurity concentration. The Computing Gaming Design and Development major is for students who wish to design and develop games for entertainment, simulation, and training.

Computer Science Facilities
There are four state of the art classroom computer labs dedicated to computer science courses. They contain large flat screen Intel Core i7 computers with Blu-ray drives. In addition, the School of Computing offers a dedicated computer lab exclusively for CS/IT majors. This lab is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for projects, homework and tutoring and is equipped with the same state of the art equipment and software as the classroom labs. There is also a Networking/UNIX lab equipped with 13 Linux machines and a variety of Cisco routers. This closed LAN laboratory is used for networking and UNIX shell programming courses and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for those students.
In addition:
A new cybersecurity lab has been built, to prepare students with the ability to learn virtualization, data center operation, computer forensics, & cloud computing technologies.
Gaming students can experiment in the Computer Science Motion Capture Laboratory with animating 3D biped characters. The completed objects are used in both video games and digital stories.
Software available in the labs includes:
Adobe Creative
Android Studio
Java
NetBeans
Microsoft Office
PuTTY
Python 3.3.2
SAP
Visual Studio
