Bachelor of Science, Information and Computer Science

This Degree is Offered Through the Parkville 16-Week Program.

The Information and Computer Science (ICS) curriculum prepares students for a broad range of computer opportunities in industry as well as in graduate studies. ICS students choose one or more specialty areas from among these five options: Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Analysis, Data Management, Networking. Depending on their chosen specialty area, ICS graduates are well prepared for these industry positions: Web programmer, applications programmer, systems analyst, information technology (IT) project manager, database analyst, network analyst.
Objectives - Upon graduation, ICS students should be able to:

  • Apply creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in producing technology solutions.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in use of popular computer technologies, programming languages, and methodologies.
  • Identify appropriate information technologies for a given organizational context and explain how to incorporate such technologies into the given organizational context.
  • Communicate effectively, ethically, and professionally in a team environment.

The ICS Department works with Park's Career Development Center in helping to place students in computer internship positions. The ICS Department actively encourages students to work in such internship positions and considers internships to be an integral part of the ICS curriculum.
