Бакалавр информатики

Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of computing and their applications in computer systems.

It involves the study and implementation of the algorithmic processes that describe and transform information. The Computer Science program at Fairmont State University offers two-degree options. Students can pursue a B.S. in Computer Science or a B.S. in Computer Science with a Cybersecurity concentration. Cybersecurity students develop theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with the tools and protocols needed to understand, implement, and manage security technologies as well as gain insight into the legal, social, and political dynamics of the cyber universe.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Computer Science program is to provide the students with the knowledge and problem-solving skills required for a successful career and/or graduate study in the computing/cybersecurity field. Graduates have the ability to communicate effectively, teach themselves new skills, and adapt to an ever-changing technological environment. Graduates will be able to properly deal with the social, legal, and ethical issues that will inevitably arise in their chosen profession.
