Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Humboldt State University (California State University, CSU)

The Computer Science program prepares students for roles across the breadth of computer science, in industry, service, and research. Our approach to computer science includes a rigorous and balanced core of mathematical, theoretical and practical knowledge about computation. Students in our department are offered electives in topics like robotics and bioinformatics programming, which challenge the students to deeply employ the tools of their discipline. Our approach also emphasizes active engagement of students in the learning process both in and beyond the classroom. To support this approach, faculty vigorously pursue professional development.Majors have access to a departmental lab, which provides dual-booting Linux and Windows platforms with many language compilers. Our Internet Teaching Laboratory (ITL) provides an isolated network for network design experimentation and student investigations in computer security. The ITL lab also serves as the department’s center for robotics instruction by housing a collection of robot kits used for courses held in neighboring lab spaces. Servers for n-tier application development are also available to students.
