Mission & Learning Outcomes Computer science studies the representation, storage and transformation of information using computer systems. The Department of Computer Science at Biola University provides two primary areas of concentration in addition to a basic core curriculum. These two areas are computer science and information systems. The department also offers a selection of courses for those majoring in other fields who wish a minor in computer science. We also have a Computer Science lab available to Computer Science majors 24/7. The department endeavors to provide each student with an understanding of the organization and operation of modern computer systems. Fundamental values and knowledge are emphasized so that students will be able to stay abreast of their field. At the same time students are exposed to practical applications and current computer systems so that they will have significant opportunities in the market place upon graduation. The pervasive use of computers today allows the student to pursue a career in many different areas including aerospace, insurance, teaching, the computer industry, and banking, to name a few. Also, the student is prepared to pursue further studies in graduate school, typically in computer science or business. There is a concerted attempt by the department to integrate faith and learning in the study of computer science and its impact upon our society. Computer Science Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate requirements and the computer science major in one of the following concentrations: Computer Science or Information Systems.
And one course (3 credits) at the 300 or 400 level in Computer Science or Math.
Information Systems (57 Credits) This concentration must complete:
