Program Educational Objectives

1. To educate and train students in the fundamentals of computer science and mathematics
2. To educate students with an understanding of real-world computing needs
3. To train students to work effectively, professionally and ethically in computing-related professions

Student Outcomes

As preparation for achieving the above educational objectives, the BS and BA degree programs in Computer Science are designed so that Bachelor of Science students attain:

• An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the program's student outcomes and to the discipline
• An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution
• An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs
• An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal
• An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities

• An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice
• An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices
• An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity

Core and breadth courses provide our students with the flexibility to work across many disciplines and prepare them for a variety of professions. Our curriculum is designed to teach fundamental skills and knowledge needed by all CS graduates while providing the greatest flexibility in selecting topics. Students are also required to develop depth in at least one of the following technical areas: software engineering; algorithms and theory; computer systems, networks, and security; databases and data mining; bioinformatics; or artificial intelligence.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Science is designed to give a student a strong background in the fundamentals of mathematics and computer science. The curriculum is designed according to the latest ACM/IEEE computer science curriculum guidelines. A graduate of this program should be able to use these fundamentals to analyze and evaluate software systems and the underlying abstractions upon which they are based. A graduate should also be able to design and implement software systems which are state-of-the-art solutions to a variety of computing problems; this includes problems which are sufficiently complex to require the evaluation of design alternatives and engineering trade-offs. In addition to these program-specific objectives, all students in the Case School of Engineering are exposed to societal issues, professionalism, and are provided opportunities to develop leadership skills.

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.

Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Computer Science is a combination of a liberal arts program and a computing major. It is a professional program in the sense that graduates can be employed as computer professionals, but it is less technical than the Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Science. This degree is particularly suitable for students with a wide range of interests. For example, students can major in another discipline in addition to computer science and routinely complete all of the requirements for the double major in a 4 year period. This is possible because over a third of the courses in the program are open electives. Furthermore, if a student is majoring in computer science and a second technical field such as mathematics or physics many of the technical electives will be accepted for both majors. Another example of the utility of this program is that it routinely allows students to major in computer science and take all of the pre-med courses in a four-year period.

Major in Computer Science (BS and BA)

BS Degree. Each student is required to complete a total of 19 computer science and computer science related courses, totaling at least 60 credits. The 19 courses must include: all 6 core courses; at least 5 computer science breadth courses; and at least 4 courses in one of the listed computer science depth areas, including all starred courses in that area. The remaining courses needed to fulfill the 19 course requirement may come from the computer science breadth courses, courses of any computer science depth area, and up to 5 of the 19 courses may come from the list of approved technical electives with at most two group 2 courses. Other computer science related courses not listed here may be used with prior permission from the student’s academic advisor. Some courses appear in more than one list. The same course may be used to satisfy multiple of the core, computer science breadth and depth requirements, but courses may not be double counted for the purpose of achieving 19 separate computer science courses and 60 credits

BA Degree. Students are required to complete a total of 13 computer science and computer science related courses, totaling at least 42 credits. The 13 courses must include all 6 core courses and at least 3 computer science breadth courses.  The remaining 4 courses may come from the computer science breadth courses, any course listed as a computer science depth course for the BS, or the list of approved technical electives such that at most 2 courses may be from group 2. There is no depth requirement for the BA degree.

Cooperative Education Program in Computer Science

Opportunities are available for students to alternate studies with work in industry or government as a co-op student, which involves paid full-time employment over seven months (one semester and one summer). Students may work in one or two co-ops, beginning in the third year of study. Co-ops provide students the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in their field by completing a significant engineering project while receiving professional mentoring. During a co-op placement, students do not pay tuition but maintain their full-time student status while earning a salary. Learn more at engineering.case.edu/coop. Alternatively or additionally, students may obtain employment as summer interns.

BS/MS Program in Computer Science

Students with a grade point average of 3.2 or higher are encouraged to apply to the BS/MS Program which will allow them to get both degrees in five years. The BS can be in Computer Science or a related discipline, such as mathematics or electrical engineering. Integrating graduate study in computer science with the undergraduate program allows a student to satisfy all requirements for both degrees in five years.  Review the Office of Undergraduate Studies BS/MS program requirements here.

Minor in Computer Science (BS or BSE)

For students pursuing a BS or BSE degree, the following four courses are required for a minor in computer science:

EECS 132	Introduction to Programming in Java	3
EECS 233	Introduction to Data Structures	4
EECS 302	Discrete Mathematics	3
EECS 340	Algorithms	3

A student must take an additional 4 credit hours of CS Courses (see Major Requirements) with the exclusion of ENGR 131 Elementary Computer Programming.
