The Information Technology and Computer Science (ITCS) Department does not permit students to pursue the following dual Programs of Emphases (POEs). 
    • Information Technology & Computer Science
    • Information Technology & Business Information Technology
    • Computer Science & Business Information Technology

Learn the Skills You Need ...

Algorithm design and data management skills
Problem analysis and a systematic approach to problem solving
The operation and organization of computer hardware and software
Essential tools for the analysis and evaluation of algorithms, data structures, languages, and systems

... For the Future You Want

Graduate studies
Scientific applications
Software design
Graphics and games programming

Rationale:

A program in computer science requires a broad range of skills, some as general as problem analysis and problem solving, others more technical, such as programming and data management. The core of the computer science POE is designed to promote the development of these skills. In addition to emphasizing mathematical techniques appropriate to "number crunching" the mathematics courses, also encourage a systematic approach to problem solving and become essential tools for the analysis and evaluation of algorithms, data structures, languages, and systems. The lower division course reinforce problem solving while also developing algorithm design and data management skills and providing knowledge of the operation and organization of computer hardware and software.

With this foundation, one can then pursue greater specialization, tailoring the program toward scientific applications, software design, systems analysis, or preparation for graduate studies. The requisite skills and relevant courses for these options vary somewhat and should be chosen in consultation with an appropriate advisor.

POE Credit Total = 62-63

Students must complete at least 18 credits at the 300/400-level. Any course exception must be approved by the advisor and/or department chair.
