Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

California Baptist University

The Computer Science (CS) program at CBU is designed to prepare students to enter the workforce as successful Software Engineers (SEs), while simultaneously equipping them with the fundamental understanding of computing systems and theory needed to enter graduate school or advance the state of the art in computing design. Students learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, through multiple languages, to build a foundation for advanced coursework in computing systems and theory, including graphics, database design, computer architecture, operating systems, networks, compilers and language design.The strong programming and algorithmic core also serves as the foundation for a state-of-the art Software Engineering core, which includes coursework using modern coding platforms and design paradigms in areas including mobile app design, web app design, cloud platform and app design, internet-of-things/embedded systems, the software development lifecycle and agile development. Platforms, languages and content for courses in the Software Engineering core are informed by current industry standards/practices and are typically either significantly or completely revamped every 2-3 years to stay on top of the fast-changing landscape of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
