Concentrations

Although not required for the major, undergraduates majoring in Computer Science or Computer and Management Information Systems are eligible to enroll in the 1 of 2 concentrations in Game Development or Information Security.

Game Development
This program focuses on the development of computer games and the relevant skills needed to create interactive software in a graphical, multi-player environment.

Information Security
This program focuses on the development of secure applications and the relevant skills needed to address the root cause of security holes, which is usually “bad software,” i.e. defective software with regard to its requirements, testing, design and/or implementation; learn the features and characteristics of secure systems and how to build security into a software system as it is developed.

General Education Requirements

All students must satisfy the University’s General Education requirements , in addition to the requirements for the major in mathematics, computer science, or computer and management information systems.
