Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Business - Applied Computing] From Anderson University - South Carolina

Through our Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in Applied Computing, you’ll become fluent in many aspects of business, including accounting, finance, economics, human resources, marketing statistics, information technology and law.

In your Applied Computing concentration courses you’ll study:

• Programming: We must understand how to program before we can write solutions. This course is designed to teach you foundational techniques of applied computer programming from the perspective of business, including data management and access, processing, decision structures, and error handling. 
• Networking and Communications:  You'll understand the fundamentals of computer networking and data communications, including network architectures, data and signals, conducted and wireless media, and security. For example, you'll learn how to connect employees through a shared database while protecting the stored information. 
• Databases: Databases are a crucial element of applied computing. We'll teach you data analysis and modeling as well as database design and administration. You'll learn to create queries, forms and reports to address management issues, perform data analysis, and automate tasks. 
• Business Problem Analysis: Variables are unavoidable in business; we'll show you how to apply modeling techniques in spreadsheets to simulate practical business problems and analyze different situations based on changing variables. You'll be able to perform regression analysis to evaluate scenarios, forecast the demand for a product and optimize the outcome of a variety of situations. 
• Business Analysis and System Design: This course covers the basics of using the system development lifecycle: analyzing, designing, implementing, testing, deploying and maintaining a computer-based information system. You'll then apply these techniques to models, such as diagramming how data is used in an inventory system or mapping the processes in a manufacturing company.
