Bachelor of Science
Software Development

The Software Development degree is designed for individuals who have practical experience in the computer industry and who are interested in a degree oriented toward one or more facets of the software development process, a broader scope of computer programming, or specializing in project management. Participants will acquire a solid understanding of software quality and management of the development process. (Those with little formal exposure to the field may acquire the appropriate preparation by taking some of our computer science and math courses prior to enrolling in the degree program.)

The Software Development degree program is designed to provide a strong knowledge base in computer science, mathematics, project and quality management, and software engineering. Graduates will develop a proficiency in methods of defining software requirements, and understanding of software design, construction, testing and maintenance.
