Who says computer scientists can only be interested in computers? The Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science is perfect for students who want to combine their love of computers and how technology works with another major, whether it’s math or music.
You’ll learn principles of computation and algorithms and develop the programming and computing skills you need for first an internship and then a career in industry. You also have the flexibility to choose a second major that will help you develop those non-technical skills—like good communication—that employers love.
