Software Engineering, B.S.

In Software Engineering, students will learn how to design, build, test, and maintain software applications with a focus on applied and hands-on exercises and projects. Students learn about programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and other topics to develop software that meets user needs. The result is a program that is intensely practical and academically rigorous.

Graduates can expect employment opportunities in many industries such as healthcare and defense that both are challenging and rewarding. A graduate of this program is equipped to design and create software to meet a variety of needs. Graduates are also capable of collaborating in a team environment, as well as working alone. Graduates can become software engineers, software developers, software designers, and project managers as well as continue their education in graduate school.
