BS in Computing

The CCS Computing Major provides a small, tight-knit community of passionate, self-directed learners in a major research university context. The program provides well-prepared students an accelerated path through the lower division curriculum so that they can move quickly into advanced courses offered both in the CCS and the College of Engineering’s Computer Science (CS) Department, which is one of the highest-ranked CS departments in the nation. The goal: early involvement of students in research and creative activity.

The advanced courses provide both the depth and breadth necessary for admission to graduate-level research programs and skills needed for direct entry into the computing workforce on graduation.

Since 1967, the College of Creative Studies (CCS) has offered a small intellectual community of committed undergraduate students and faculty set within a major research university. CCS students and their faculty advisors work together to design a study plan that encourages students to take risks, explore, and develop their passion. Whether it is producing creative work or conducting original research, students are inspired and empowered to make significant contributions to their field by creating new knowledge.

The mission of CCS is to recruit the most talented and imaginative undergraduates and provide them with the intellectual environment and advice that allows them to undergo the transition quickly from consumers of knowledge to colleagues in the act of human creativity in the arts and sciences.
