This program offers a sound foundation in computing, while allowing greater flexibility in determining an area of application of the acquired computing skills. It is an excellent preparation for students interested in professional careers involving computer applications in less technical areas such as business or education. As a BACS student, you have the option of combining your undergraduate education in computing with another disciplinary area, effectively customizing your degree as “CS + X”. Examples include Computer Science + Theater, Computer Science + Communications, Computer Science + Physics.
