Computer Science

Computer Science is a program designed to prepare students for careers in software engineering. A major difference between Computer Science and Information Systems Technology is the rigorous level of mathematics required for Computer Science. At many upper-division universities, like Towson University, a computer science major can earn a double major in mathematics. At HCC, this program provides the first two years of general education, mathematics, computer programming, and natural science needed to transfer to an upper-division institution and complete a computer science or computer engineering major. Electives should be selected to articulate with the specific institution and specific computer science program chosen.
