Computer scientists are primarily concerned with the design of algorithms, languages, hardware architectures, systems software, applications soft\u00adware and tools. Emphasis in the Computer Science program is placed on the abil\u00adity to solve problems and think independently. The program offers a foundation in data structures, computer architecture, software design, algorithms, program\u00adming languages, and object-oriented programming. This program also introduces students to the video game industry, video game design and programming.
