Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Computer Science Education

Colorado State University

Computer science is the study of algorithms and software systems: their theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation, maintenance, and application. Computers Science Educators seek to advance the fundamental quality of computer science education by having a deeper understanding on how students learn combined with the complexities of the computational mindset that is developed through computer science. Computer Science Education students will engage in coursework related to both computer science and education, and their intersection, the growing field of computer science education. Through course work, service learning, and student teaching, this degree will prepare students to enter the field as a K-12 teachers. Furthermore, this degree will serve as preparation for admission into advanced degree programs and college level teaching and research in the field of computer science education. Course work includes the same core foundation expected of all computer science concentrations, and course work specific to computer science education and teaching standards including web development, software engineering, and networking.
