Why study Computer Science?

Other Degree Options

What aspect of modern life has not been affected by computing technologies? Personal computers, game machines, routers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, and wearable electronics have changed the landscape of daily life, but older technologies that we take for granted are also now controlled by software. Eastern graduates have career options in public accounting and in industry, government, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as in such applications as auditing, taxation, information systems and management services. Our traditional computer science degree provides extensive preparation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program isaccredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET,Minors in 3D Animation, Computer Applications, Computer InformationSystems, Computer Science Programming, Web ApplicationDevelopment. MS in Computer Science and an Interdisciplinary MS.
