The curriculum includes introductory courses and courses in assembly language, computer organization, system programming, databases, software development, artificial intelligence and algorithm analysis. The department strives to ensure that its students are exposed to a variety of programming languages and operating systems throughout the curriculum. By the time students reach upper-division computer science courses, they will be expected to have achieved sufficient maturity in the discipline to learn new languages and systems with minimal formal classroom instruction.
