Computer Science Major
Students interested in the general study of computer science can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Temple University’s College of Science and Technology. 计算机科学学士或学士的毕业生被聘为计算机顾问, programmers, software developers, system analysts, and system or network administrators. Some graduates start their own technology companies.
Computer science is the study of automating processes that can store, communicate and process information. 计算机科学家专门研究理论，如计算和计算系统设计. 计算机科学专业的学生在计算机科学的概念基础方面获得了广泛的教育, including algorithms, artificial intelligence, computer architecture, data structures, image processing, networks, operating systems and software engineering. Students learn the underlying theory, methodologies and techniques used in the development of computer systems.
After completing this program, students should have the ability to
- 运用计算机硬件和系统软件知识设计可靠和高效的软件系统,
- communicate with and lead teams,
- design, write and test efficient software algorithms, and
- learn, evaluate and apply new problem-solving techniques and tools.
Choosing between a BA and a BS
The Computer Science BS requires more CIS coursework than the BA, 包括四到五门计算机科学高级选修课和一门计算机科学概率论课程. 这些额外的课程使学士学位学生毕业后更容易就业. 对于那些想要扩大自己的教育范围并在专业之外学习额外课程的学生来说，文学学士学位(所需学分较少)是一个不错的选择.
