Bachelor of Science - Computer Science

At Southern New Hampshire University, students will learn to apply the basic concepts and theories behind computer science to real-world situations through a combination of traditional computer science and mathematics courses and major, team-based software development projects. The program combines classroom learning with a project-based, hands-on approach which ensures that they will have firsthand opportunities to implement important computer science principles and face down challenges.

Southern New Hampshire University has modelled its computer science program in accordance with the international CDIO initiative, "an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of computer scientists that stresses computer science fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operating real-world systems and products." CDIO is a prominent educational philosophy and is intended to achieve a fine balance between project-based, hands-on learning and traditional, theory-based education.
