Licence en Sciences de l'Information et de l'Informatique

The Information and Computer Science (ICS) degree program prepares students for a broad range of computer opportunities in industry as well as in graduate studies. ICS students choose one or more specialty areas from among these four options: Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Management, and Networking. Depending on their chosen specialty area, graduates of Park’s Information and Computer Science degree program are well prepared for these industry positions: Web programmer, applications programmer, information technology (IT) project manager, database analyst, network analyst. The program is an ideal fit for students who enjoy working with technology and wish to study in one of Park’s on-campus or online degree programs.

Mission

Upon completion of the Information and Computer Science degree, graduates should be able to:

• Apply creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in producing technology solutions.
• Demonstrate proficiency in use of popular computer technologies, programming languages, and methodologies.
• Identify appropriate information technologies for a given organizational context and explain how to incorporate such technologies into the given organizational context.
• Communicate effectively, ethically, and professionally in a team environment.

Outstanding Teachers

We make sure our teachers have the right blend of real-world experience and academic experience. The real-world experience pays off in their being able to relate concepts found in books to applications found in industry. The academic experience pays off in their being able to effectively communicate what they know. At some larger universities, research comes first and that can be to the detriment of teaching. On the other hand, here at Park, teaching comes first. The faculty work extremely hard to ensure the best possible computer education.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Based Information Systems

Available in KC Area Only

There is no organization, whether it is large or small, that can survive without the support of its data processing department. The number of jobs available in business and government for computer-trained personnel continues to increase. The major specifically prepares the student in the area of data processing, business management, and accounting. The combination of computer and business courses prepares the students for careers in programming, system analysis, and management of computer systems.

Park, a four-year, private, nonprofit, liberal arts institution has helped students break barriers to education since 1875. Our motto, fides et labour (Latin for “faith and work”) is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Park University education is an opportunity to find faith in yourself — by discovering your potential and working to realize it.

Park University’s core values are academic excellence, inclusivity and social responsibility. Diversity is in our DNA — Park’s first graduating class included four women. Today, we welcome more than 260 international students from 60 countries.
