菲爾萊狄金森大學(xué)

The Bachelor of Science degree program in computer science provides a theoretically based education in computer science, coupled with real-world applications. Students are exposed to a broad range of fundamental concepts in such areas as software engineering, computer organization, database systems, management information systems, and operating systems, as well as to a wide variety of computer applications. The computer science core requirements are supplemented by four highly in-demand concentrations: cyber-security and information assurance, database management, game and mobile application development and information security administration. Students must complete two of the four concentrations.

The program requires the successful completion of at least 120 credits of course work.

Graduates of the program, many of whom enter the industry, are prepared to function well in most computing environments. They are familiar with a spectrum of fundamental principles and have been encouraged to approach problems with creativity.

Pre-requisites: elementary and intermediate algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry and two units of science.

Cyber-security & Information Assurance

The Cyber-security and Information Assurance concentration of the BS Computer Science program helps students learn the principles and practices of defending the cyberspace security and integrity. It also teaches the general principles that will help the learners to develop algorithms, systems, and tools for information assurance. The Metropolitan Campus of FDU enjoys the proximity of New York City with its major financial institutions and government agencies. The School enjoys strong relationships with companies in the Northern NJ and New York City that help students to expand their experiential learning opportunities.

Database Management

In the Database Management concentration, a student must also choose three electives among four possible courses, Advanced Database (CSCI 3331), Distributed Database Systems (CSCI4373), Data Warehouse and Data Mining (CSCI 3460) and Enterprise Computing for the IBM Series (CSCI 3470). CSCI 3331 Advanced Database teaches the real-world duties of a database administrator (DBA) and the complete process of a database design, from interviews to implementation. After practicing with a number of sample schemas, students are encouraged to design a database in a team-oriented project.

Game & Mobile Application Development

The Game and Mobile Application Development concentration of the BS Computer Science program helps students learn the principles and practices of 2D and 3D game development using audio, video, animation and graphics. They will also learn how to develop applications using Android's API and developing games on mobile platforms. The Metropolitan Campus of FDU enjoys the proximity of New York City with its major financial institutions, media industry, and government agencies. The School enjoys strong relationships with companies in the Northern NJ and New York City that helps FDU graduates to expand their experiential learning through internships.

Information Security Administration

The Information Security Administration concentration of the BS Computer Science program helps students learn the principles and practices of administering information assurance and to develop algorithms, systems, and tools for this domain. The Metropolitan Campus enjoys the proximity of New York City with its major financial institutions and government agencies. The School also has strong relationships with companies in the Northern NJ and New York City that help students to expand their experiential learning opportunities.
