The University of Tampa's major in computer science is a cutting-edge program that teaches students core and contemporary topics in computing to prepare graduates for a challenging position in industry or for further graduate study. Students receive a comprehensive study of computing that focuses on both the core fundamentals and applied aspects of hardware and software as well as exposure to advanced topics in areas such as machine learning and artificial intelligence; data mining and data management; computer networking and security; web programming and development; and human-computer interaction. The curriculum begins with a unique freshman experience that exposes students to computing through a custom single-board computing platform; provides students with many hands-on, projects-based opportunities; and culminates with a rigorous, team-based capstone experience that embraces industry engagement.
