Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems

  

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems (BSCSys) program will provide students with a strong core understanding of the concepts of computation using modern software and hardware. The program will enable students to devise software, hardware and network solutions for a wide range of industry sectors. It will also allow students to learn about distributed systems and will prepare them for positions of administrators of various computer systems’ infrastructures and security specialists. Graduates of this program will be able to succeed in graduate programs in computer science or related fields.

Approach

The BSCSys program emphasizes learning by doing through course projects and the use of state-of-the-art open-source and proprietary software tools and platforms for practical learning and final projects.

Motivation

To support their business, all companies require in-house IT infrastructure expertise to provision, deploy, administer, maintain, optimize, and secure software, operating systems, datastore systems, data pipes, data centers, networks, virtual machines and/or cloud services.
