The Pre-MBA Concentration is intended for students who want to apply computer science in a management setting. Having grown out of a business perspective, this concentration focuses on managing information, projects, and other technical professionals. Although it still contains a significant core of theoretical and applied computer science, the curriculum also includes business and management courses to educate students in the organizational side of computer science, as well as fairly advanced mathematics, enabling students to manage scientific computing projects and personnel more effectively. Upon graduation, students can earn an MBA degree from Southeastern within one year, assuming they take BLAW 231 during their graduating semester and meet the admissions requirements for graduate school.
Our mission is to provide a fundamental core that establishes the scientific foundation necessary for lifelong learning and graduate education, and an appropriate variety of educational and research experiences that provide the skills necessary for careers in the information technology industry and to sustain our recognized excellence in teaching and service to students and the community.
The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. This program is designed to provide the foundation necessary for computer science graduates to succeed in the computing profession as well as in graduate school.
