The programs offered in this department are designed to provide knowledge and experience in the pure and applied areas of, computer science, information sci-ence and information technology. Beyond this, the department seeks to imbue in its students Christian values, moral soundness, and professional ethics. These, along with the theories and applications of logic programming and problem solv-ing through practical applications, will fit the students for service in all branches of science, business, and the humanities. OBJECTIVES The Department of Computer and Information Sciences aims to: instill and exemplify Christ-like principles of order, honesty, integrity, and
selfless service, prepare students for jobs in the multi-faceted areas of information technology,
computer science and information science, provide foundation work for advanced study, facilitate the development of pace-setters in technology, provide computing services and resources for students, staff, and faculty, and provide the community with courses that will introduce and enhance practical
knowledge of computers.

“I suppose I sort of like effects that have some organic elements
rather than ones that are entirely generated by a computer. Just
because, no matter how complex the algorithm is, it's still an
algorithm.”
