Computer Science Major

Facilities

Computer Science students utilize three brand new state of the art labs for all computer science courses. They are Artificial Intelligence (AI) lab, IDEA Lab, and Cybersecurity lab. These labs are equipped with powerful workstations, as well as unique equipment such as robotic arms, water lab, 3D printers, wood shop and much more. In addition, a brand new Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality lab is now open to all SHU students in the West campus. 


A sample of the software available in the labs is as follows: Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Director 12, Android Studio, Docker, IBM SPSS 24, Java SE Developmental Kit 8, Maple 2015, Microsoft SQL Server with Data Tools and Analysis Services, Microsoft Visual Studio, NetBeans IDE, Oracle 11g, Oracle VM VirtualBox, Python, SAP, Tableau, Unity, Unreal Engine, Vagrant, VMWare Workstation, Wireshark.

 

 

Program Requirements

The Computer Science major requires the completion of 57 credits. CS 110 may be required if a student has no previous programming experience.

All Computer Science student starts their major with an exploration course that covers Computer Science, Information technology, Game Design and Development, Engineering and Cybersecurity areas. Students then can select their specialized course in one of the majors from the school.
