Computer Science is basically the study of problem
solving on computers. We utilize the power of computers
in the problem solving process while dealing with the
constraints of computers. We offer to the undergraduate
a rich mix of pure and modern Computer Science courses.
Common to these offerings are the power, beauty, and
utility of computational thought.
Applications of Computer Science knowledge include
almost every field from business to education, from
humanities to social sciences, or from natural sciences
to engineering. Therefore, the study of Computer Science
contains many fields such as computer architecture,
programming languages, computer networking, database
systems, information management, artificial intelligence
and numerical analysis.
Hundreds of job advertisements looking for Computer
Science professionals appear in newspapers, professional
magazines and newsletters. Due to the enormous demand,
degree holders in Computer Science have multiple paths
to reach their career goals. They can easily find jobs
with excellent pay in many businesses and industries and
their job titles include positions such as: programmers,
system analyst/engineer/managers, software
analyst/engineer/managers, database managers,
network/telecommunications administrators, customer
service representative/managers, computer instructors,
technical trainers, technical support, management
information system managers, and sales representatives.
The Cal State San Marcos undergraduate study in
Computer Science emphasizes both theoretical foundations
and practical applications. Students will learn
algorithms, data structures, software design, the
concepts of programming languages, computer
organization, and computer architecture. The program
stresses analysis and design experiences with
substantial laboratory work, including software
development.
The Computer Science major prepares students for
careers in applications programming, system analysis,
and software engineering, as well as for entrance into
graduate and professional schools.
