Additional Degrees & Concentrations

(BS/Minor/Assoc) - Through the study of physics, mathematics and computer science, computer engineering students will learn to design and develop computer hardware and software. Students may specialize concentrations to focus more specifically on web technology, robotics, microprocessors and much more.

(BS) - Through a combination of studies focusing on business practices and computer science, systems analysis and design degrees prepare students for technical careers focused on improving efficiency. Students will learn how to analyze computer systems and procedures and then design and develop more effective infrastructures that solve operation issues, address needed functionalities and improve productivity.
(BS) - User experience design degrees center on developing products and services with the specific intent to maximize an end user’s ultimate satisfaction. User experience design students will learn to optimize applications – such as websites, apps and programs – in order to maximize a user’s experience and interaction. They will learn to analyze user metrics and develop solutions that improve engagement and conversion.

(BS) - Software engineering programs focus on the principles of engineering and how they can be applied to the development and maintenance of software and systems. Students will study various programming languages, software development and computer operating systems—and how to apply their knowledge to develop software from ideation through product implementation.

(Minor/Cert) - Geographic information science students will develop skills in the analysis, management and application of spatial data. Studies include mapping, modeling and satellite and aerial image analysis. Program graduates can look forward to using their skills in a variety of fields including disaster assessment, urban planning, agriculture and intelligence/national security.
