Notes:

  1. For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
  2. This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ACC 102 Prin Accounting II ManagerialHST 131 Latin American History IMTH 221 Calc with Analytic Geom III).  Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.  

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

  • Apply design theory to a database using appropriate database management systems;
  • Design, maintain, and monitor database server architecture including addressing performance optimization to meet system requirements;
  • Test software systems against specification, performance, maintenance, and quality requirements;
  • Apply software engineering theory, principles, tools, and processes, as well as computer science and mathematics theories and principles, to develop and maintain complex software systems; and
  • Evaluate impact of potential software engineering problem solutions as they fit into global societies by integrating knowledge of contemporary issues and emerging software engineering trends, models, tools, and techniques.
