The Department of Computer Science seeks to meet the computer science needs of the State of Louisiana and the nation by producing graduates who possess the skills and knowledge necessary to be productive computer scientists. The department provides the basic education necessary for careers in computer science and related fields.
The Computer Science Department seeks to prepare students for graduate study in computer science and to provide the fundamental knowledge and skills in computer science that will allow students to pursue careers in these disciplines and closely related disciplines.
The department offers a Cooperative Education Program which involves alternate periods of work and university study. Students participating in the program receive credit for the off-campus work experiences by registering at the university and receive pay for their work. Participation in the Cooperative Education Program is on a voluntary basis. The program is available to all computer science students who have completed two years of academic study with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
The department offers the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Computer Science and the program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Faculty members in the department strive to offer, through teaching and research, educational experiences that nurture students intellectually and ethically, and that assist them in reaching their academic goals.
The baccalaureate degree program in computer science requires completion of 49 hours of course work in computer science and 33 hours of supporting courses in the sciences and mathematics. Additionally, students seeking a degree in either discipline must complete the requirements of the general education program. Only grades of “C” or higher are acceptable in major and supporting courses.
