Choose a concentration
 Choose a concentration from the following-Computing Science, Data Science, Information Science. All concentrations develop skills and knowledge in the core computer science areas of-programming, algorithms, problem solving, understanding how computing hardware and software works. The different concentrations each focus on a particular area of computer science for more in-depth study.Computing Science Concentration (26-30 credits):
 The Computing Science concentration builds more in-depth skills and knowledge in algorithms and data structures, and systems programming.  These courses prepare students for positions which develop systems-level software or software requiring careful optimizing for efficiency.  This concentration also prepares students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in computer science.  The skills and knowledge in the concentration are fundamental to computer science and can be applied across other areas of computer science.Information Science Concentration (22 credits):
 The Information Science concentration builds skills and knowledge in administration and development in areas that are in demand across all types of organizations - database and data management, web programming, security, and systems administration.  The concentration prepares students for careers in any of these areas.Data Science Concentration (26-30 Credits)
 The Data Science concentration builds skills and knowledge related to data analysis, including dealing with large datasets and various data formats, applying machine-learning tools to datasets, storing data in databases, and user interfaces for data analysis and results.  The concentration prepares students for a career in data science or related areas.Degree Map Computing Science Concentration
