Computational data science students will build a foundation of knowledge by studying mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Students will also learn modern database theory, methods for causal inference, data visualization techniques, machine learning algorithms, and how AI can solve real-world problems.

Computer scientists master the theory and practice of computing and explore new and exciting ways to use computers. Computer science careers include designing and programming software, working with artificial intelligence programs, computer engineering and robotics, game development, and more.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Education provides a solid foundation of software and web development skills specifically for secondary educators. It consists of computer science and web development classes as well as education courses necessary to obtain a Utah teaching license with endorsements in computer science and web development.

This dynamic, two-year part-time program offers required courses in cybersecurity operations, law, ethics, and privacy in cybersecurity, penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, advanced network defense and countermeasures, and cybersecurity risk management.

Software developers work under the supervision of software engineers or computer scientists to develop software. They implement software designs and may have a limited role in their design. They participate in software development processes such as Agile and Scrum as team members.

Software engineers design and develop large software systems, and may lead teams of software developers or quality assurance engineers. Software engineers employ innovative software development approaches, such as Agile software development, to effectively manage software development projects.
