A Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides an educational program that is high quality, academically challenging and career-enriching by maintaining a balance between theoretical and experimental aspects of computer engineering, as well as a core competency in the fundamental aspects of an engineering-oriented paradigm.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering educates students about engineering computer software to interact with computer systems and hardware components.

In the master's program, you have the option of selecting a master's thesis or selecting coursework to complement your career goals. You can also select a specialization area in consultation with a major professor and the graduate coordinator. Combined computer engineering degree master's opportunities include:
