Undergraduate Foundation Program + Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science

Computer science is the study of computing systems and their use in problem solving, including the development and analysis of programs and the computing machinery that runs them. Washington State University’s computer science program emphasizes software design and testing. Students can broaden their studies by working with an advisor to choose courses that fulfill the degree requirements and give them specialized knowledge in other areas, such as artificial intelligence, data science, high performance computing, human-computer interaction, security, software engineering, and more.

The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed for multidisciplinary students who wish to learn the basics of computer science and apply it to a different field. This degree encourages a minor in another area, such as arts, biochemistry, economics, or criminal justice, among others.
