Marymount\u2019s computer science (CS) program recognizes the important role of computer scientists in developing and maintaining the technology used in all aspects of today\u2019s world \u2014 in business, in society, and in our personal lives.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Computer Science program provides the following:<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
A solid foundation of computer science concepts that forms the basis of computing in the modern world.<\/span><\/li>\n
Specific skills in developing applications across a wide range of platforms, from mobile devices to supercomputers.<\/span><\/li>\n
Knowledge of current technologies, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, and the ability to learn new methodologies and technologies as they arise in the fast- changing world of technology.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Marymount University has worked with community colleges in the region to maximize the credits that can be transferred into the program from dual enrollment programs, community colleges, other accredited 4-year schools, and from many verifiable industry certifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The faculty for this program, full time and part time, are experienced and knowledgeable in the specific subjects they teach and, when applicable, use extensive hands-on activities to support learning. Labs are integrated in the courses so students can practice with the same tools and techniques they will use in the job world as they learn the foundations. This is enhanced by a wide range of extra-curricular activities including competitions and boot camps.<\/span><\/p>\n
Students are encouraged to engage in research with full-time faculty in areas such as computer hardware, machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and digital transformation. A variety of paid and volunteer opportunities are available under the direction of our diverse and experienced faculty.<\/span><\/p>\n
Internship Prerequisites<\/h3>\n
To make sure students are ready for the workforce; all students must take a for-credit internship in the computer science field before graduation. A minimum of 90 credits with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required to register for the internship.<\/span><\/p>\n
Credits Required<\/h3>\n
The B.S. in Computer Science degree requires at least 120 total credits.<\/span><\/p>\n
