California Baptist University
Students who major in computer science will learn not just how to code but how to think. While programming and design are two key aspects of computer science, the discipline also focuses on the theoretical, mathematical and algorithmic aspects of computation. Computer scientists are, along with software engineers, among the most in-demand professions in all fields of technology, and that’s only expected to grow.
Gain real-world experience
Students are trained in more advanced computing techniques, able to design and write
computer programs in today’s programming languages and are thoroughly equipped to
enter the mathematical sectors of the industry to fill roles that span both hardware
and software development.
Learn from a Christian worldview
A unique aspect of the program is that students reflect on computer science from a
Christian worldview, considering how to use code to solve global problems and promote
good.
Have a cross-cultural experience
The current dean understands the value of engineering in a global context and the
importance of becoming globally aware having spent almost two years in India as a
tentmaker in the "Silicon Valley of Asia." Currently, opportunities are being developed
for engineering students to travel to and work in China, India, Korea, Rwanda, the
Caribbean and Central America.
CBU's bachelor degree program in computer science (BCS) has been accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Introduction to concepts and considerations of modern compilers and programming languages. Language translation, types and declaration, and abstraction mechanisms are studied.
The Christian worldview provides a framework within which the complicated ethical and social issues of computing can be considered.
Computer scientists use hardware and software components to solve problems; this course encompasses the theoretical basics that underlie them.
Program Educational Objectives
CBU graduates are expected to acquire:
As you make decisions about college, keep in mind the full social, spiritual and educational experience awaiting you at CBU. Here, you will be supported by professors, staff and fellow students who will help you discover your strengths and challenge you to do more than you ever thought you could. Let us equip you with the education, training and opportunities you'll need to start making a unique difference doing what you love.
Apply today! When you complete and submit your application to CBU, a friendly and knowledgeable admissions counselor will guide you through the admissions process and all the necessary steps to become a Lancer.
"I chose this major because I enjoy coding. I hope to aid others who don't have as
many opportunities as me. I enjoy all of the professors as they have helped me become
a better college student."
Tristan Nguyen, 2022
"I’ve always enjoyed logic-based puzzles so I find programming to be a lot of fun.
Also, I’m interested in AI, OS and game development. I haven’t had a bad teacher yet
and they’re always willing to help. Classes aren’t overfilled."
