Computer Science is the systematic study of algorithmic processes that describe and transform information: their theory, analysis, design, efficiency, implementation, and application (Peter Denning et al.).
Computer Science majors study algorithms and data structures, high-level and low-level programming languages. They study computer organization and architecture. Computer Science majors study software methodology and engineering, operating systems and artificial intelligence and robotics. Majors also study database and information retrieval and numerical and symbolic computation. They study social, ethical, and professional issues. They program extensively and analyze and design computing systems, both hardware and software.
Discipline Outcomes:
Students who complete the recommended Computer Science curriculum at Snow College will be expected to demonstrate that they
