Bachelor's of Arts or Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science
Our flexible Computer Science undergraduate curriculum launches students into their future careers or into graduate school! Students can select from five concentrations in the following areas, each of which contain the broad foundations of computer science understanding, but allow a deeper dive in to a specialty area. Students can also choose two concentrations and still graduate within four years!
- Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics
- Cybersecurity & Secure Software Design
- Game Design & Development
- General Computer Science
- Web & Mobile App Development
"A key takeaway from this trip for me is that networking and engaging with your network is very important in your career. It was awesome to see Ball State alumni working for larger companies/big name companies, and it was wonderful connecting with them on this trip. Opportunities like this give many students the ability to connect with a company through alumni that are employed there." -- Makenzie T.
Master's of Science in Computer Science
Our department has also relaunched the Master's of Science degree -- you can learn more here. This 100% online, asynchronous degree emphasizes applications and specializations with hands-on learning experience in state-of-the-art areas such as machine learning, data analytics, cybersecurity, and software engineering. This program is built for learners of all educational backgrounds and career experiences, with no application (or transcripts) needed. Instead, admission to the program is based on performance -- learners who pass the first three courses with an average grade of a B are admitted.
