Undergraduate Education
Undergraduate Degree Options
Our BS program is designed for students who desire a more technical course of study, while our BA program is for students who want to combine their interest in computer science with a non-engineering discipline. We also have many students from across the Homewood campus who double-major in computer science.
Computer Science Minor
A computer science minor provide students with foundational knowledge in the field that can be applied to other engineering disciplines as well as studies in non-engineering subjects.
Combined BS/MS Degree Program
The combined BS/MS program enables undergraduates to apply for and begin taking courses towards their master’s degree before completing their BS. Most students apply for the program in their junior year and finish both degrees within five years.
