Shaping the Future of Technology

Artificial intelligence is transforming how software is designed, how data is interpreted, and how decisions are made. The Computer Science program in the Department of Computing, Informatics, and Data Science (CIDS) blends core computing principles with emerging AI-driven technologies to prepare students for today’s evolving tech workforce.

With a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, and systems, students explore topics such as machine learning, data analysis, and intelligent applications while developing industry-critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Designed for flexibility, the program empowers learners to apply computing and AI concepts ethically and effectively in real‑world settings.
