The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program focuses on the concepts and techniques used in the design and development of advanced software systems. You will explore the conceptual underpinnings of Computer Science -- its fundamental algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, and software engineering techniques. In addition, choose from a rich set of electives that includes » data science, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, database systems, computer architecture, and computer networks, among other topics. As with the introductory sequence, these advanced courses stress "hands-on" learning by doing.

A generous allotment of free electives allows you to combine study in Computer Science with study in another field either by taking a well-defined specialized minor in another discipline, or by working with an advisor to formulate a program that combines experiences across disciplines. Illinois Tech's active learning philosophy requires you to work in teams across disciplines to solve problems.
