This program provides students with the knowledge to design and build computer systems that meet a wide range of information processing requirements. The course of study includes hardware design and software systems, theory and applications of computers, mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical signals and circuits, logic design, computer architecture, operating systems, database systems, data communications, microprocessors, computer programming, and artificial intelligence.
Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems: their theory, design, development, and applications. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve problems and develop and study the performance of computer hardware and software. Computer scientists work in challenging and rewarding jobs that encompass design, environmental planning, management, manufacturing, system engineering, law, medicine, teaching, and many other exciting areas.
The computer and information technology program prepares students for existing and emerging jobs and careers in the application of information systems and technology. Students in this program will learn the most current knowledge, concepts, and tools in a variety of IT areas, and develop an appreciation of the connection between the real life and digital world. The core courses in CIT degree will ensure students have a solid foundation of information system, networking, database, information security, software development, and Web programming.
Mathematics is the basis of all sciences, and it can be argued that good training in mathematics enhances all intellectual activity in general. Mathematical training develops a fl exible mind and an ability to quickly and effi ciently learn new things and solve diverse problems that arise in all walks of life and can also help students succeed in fi elds other than mathematics. Frequently, the best programmers in computer science are mathematicians. Fields like economics, business, medicine, the fi ne arts, and literature often have people with a solid mathematical background.
This program is to prepare students for the third and fourth years of a baccalaureate degree program in engineering in other institution.
This major prepares students for a teaching career. There is a demand for mathematics teachers nationwide. Our mathematics education program is nationally accredited and NCATE/NCTM approved. Our students have been exceptionally successful in passing the required certification exam.
The mathematics faculty members have a good rapport with a number of local high schools,
and the department makes a special effort in preparing education majors to perform well on
the certification exam.
The math education is a joint program with Department of Education at Shepherd University. More details of this program can be found in Shepherd University Department of Education web site.
