B.S. Computer Science

UW-Stout's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (CS) program provides you with the option to select a concentration that reflects your interests and career goals. The program provides you with strong analytical skills, technical abilities and hands-on experiences creating user-friendly, graphically based software for a variety of industries and applications.

Concentrations:

Cyber Security and Secure Software Development (CSSSD): Obtain the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certification.
Game Design and Development (GDD): Design and develop game software in interdisciplinary teams.
Mobile Applications (MA): Design and develop software applications that run on Android and iOS mobile platforms.
Interdisciplinary: Combine Computer Science with a field of your choice. Direct your career by designing your curriculum to match your career goals.
You'll obtain industry experience applying your computing skills through a co-op or internship during the summer prior to your junior or senior year. This is in addition to hands-on capstone courses in which you work in a team to design, implement, test and deliver a fully-functional software application to a client. 

Modern games are among the most demanding of computer programming applications, requiring knowledge of advanced mathematics and physics which form the basis of the 3D graphics, artificial intelligence and game engines that make up the game programs.

Mobile device use is exploding. New data storage, processing and display technologies have allowed tablets and other portable devices to do nearly anything that had previously been done with larger personal computers. To be successful in either industry, you must be skilled in computer science and be able to work in teams.
