Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Computer Science] From Texas A&M University

Computer Science today is way more than the traditional computer job as a business programmer or network administrator. Today, computers are used in almost every aspect of our lives: in car engines, microwave ovens, video games, watches and telephones.

You can look forward to careers in video game development, Simulations Modeling and Digital Film Production. Our computer science degree program is designed to prepare you to begin or advance your career in business, industry, government, or education.

The Computer Science at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi degree program is applied in nature and is designed to prepare students to begin or advance computing careers in business, industry, government, or education, or to pursue further study in computer science.

The curriculum is thorough, current, and oriented toward the technical competencies required of a modern computer professional with emphasis on the development, evaluation, and integration of software systems.

All computer science classes have a maximum enrollment of 30....most classes average about 20 students; small classes give you the opportunity to be a member of a team of students in an environment much like you will find in a business.

Mission

The computer science program is committed to preparing students to:
