Both the Computer Science and the Software Engineering and Management majors are available to day and evening students. Evening students who qualify as Accelerated students may take accelerated courses to satisfy business and general education requirements. Students graduating with one of these degrees may also satisfy the requirements for the Certificate in Web Programming with Java.

Computer Science

The Computer Science major provides sound preparation for a career as a computer professional or for graduate study. It combines a comprehensive theoretical foundation with the pragmatic aspect of designing and implementing computer-based solutions to practical problems.

The program also emphasizes the current trends in software engineering through an object-oriented approach and Internet/networking applications using Java, Perl, C++, and other Web-related software systems, tools, and technologies.

Degree and Major Requirements

Students may transfer a maximum of 78 lower-division units from a variety of sources, including but not limited to, community colleges, universities, advanced placement credit, and military duty. These lower-division units can fulfill NDNU’s General Education requirements and major prerequisites, or be transferred in as electives.

See the NDNU General Catalog for program requirements and course descriptions.

Software Engineering and Management

The Departments of Business Administration and Mathematics/Computer Science offer an interdisciplinary major in Software Engineering and Management. This major focuses on developing strong quantitative, computing, managerial, and business skills. Students develop business Web software applications, learning also how to manage software projects for business applications. The program is suitable for students interested in a computer-related career in a business environment and leads to a wide range of employment opportunities.
