The programs in computer science provide a theoretically based education in computer science, coupled with practical objectives. Students are exposed to a broad range of fundamental concepts in such areas as software engineering, computer organization, database systems, management information systems and operating systems, as well as to a wide variety of computer applications. The core curriculum of required courses can be supplemented by a concentration of courses in a specialized area.

Students must complete any one of three concentration areas: Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, Big Data Analytics, Game and Mobile Application Development. Each concentration requires the successful completion of five courses (15 credits). 

Students completing the BS in Computer Science with a concentration in the Cybersecurity and Information Assurance concentration are eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion of a NSA & DHS designated CAE-CDE program of study from FDU’s Center for Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (CCIA).
