Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Computer Science is an exciting, growing and challenging field that has impact in most aspects of everyday life. These areas include medicine, communications, automotive technology, weather forecasting, entertainment, mining, pharmacology, forensics, manufacturing, disaster recovery, security, law, business.
For practically any area you can think of there is an application of computer technology. Yet there are still many new computer applications to be discovered and implemented in that area, and you could be involved in that exciting endeavor and service to humanity.
As for growing fields related to computer science, one can mention Security Analysis and its applications in face recognition; email patterns; finding odd behavior in a crowd; breaking codes. Another growing field is Bioinformatics in analyzing gene sequence data to search disease markers. Game Programming is also a very fast growing field where games have surpassed movies in income production. Artificial intelligence in Medicine is used to build expert systems which make diagnoses or check for drug interactions. Medical imaging requires complicated 3-D image processing requires graphics and intense computing power. Communications indeed constitute a huge field and will remain a big employer. Issues that are addressed include networking, data encoding and encryption, wireless technology, and much more.
The impact of Computer Science and Software Engineering will only continue to grow. A recent report by the 2020 Science Group concludes that computing and computer science will become fundamental to all sciences, particularly the natural sciences.
Job opportunities in Computer Science and Software Engineering are outstanding! In the U.S. there are currently more Computer Science and Software Engineering jobs than all other engineering jobs combined. The

The Computer Science academic curriculum is completely integrated with that of the Saint Louis campus in Missouri. The students can transfer freely between the two campuses over the course of their undergraduate degree program. A student who enrolls in a bachelor's degree Computer Science program in Madrid will normally spend the first two years in Madrid and then transfer directly to the St. Louis campus to finish the final two years of the degree program. However, students can transfer the academic credits they earn while studying in Madrid to other U.S. universities should they so wish.

Computer Science academic courses are offered in English in Saint Louis Madrid campus. Spanish and international students can enroll in the intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) program during their first year of study.

Special attributes of this program
·The Computer Science program requires 121 hours of course work, including computer science (48 hours) and a set of allied electives (15 hours) from a related discipline. The major includes a concentration of courses in computer science, including advanced architecture theory of programming languages and data communications. The Computer Science program requires allied electives from the sciences and/or engineering. In addition, four open electives are included in the program. Together, the allied electives and open electives provide ample opportunity for students to consider majoring or minoring in another discipline.

Freshman students start working in Unix environment and learn programming in C.
