The department has course offerings of sufficient breadth to allow specialization in a number of areas including software engineering, intelligent systems, database concepts, computer systems and architecture, net-centric computing, and Web development. Majors are encouraged to choose an area of specialization based upon their career goals and to select electives, with guidance from their advisor, to support that choice.

Available concentrations are Computer Game Technology; Data Science; Mobile Computing; and Software, Web, and Computer Security.

The general requirements for the computer science major are:
