计算机科学与网络安全专业，理学学士.S.

项目概述

Lenoir-Rhyne's computer science program strive for academic excellence by offering rigorous courses designed to challenge the qualified and motivated student and liberate the mind through an emphasis on quantitative and abstract reasoning, 解决问题, 批判性思维和较强的沟通能力.

计算机科学专业为学生将来从事商业工作做准备, 行业, 计算机科学的教育和研究生课程, 信息系统和信息技术. The computer science major leads to a Bachelor of Science degree and includes courses that provide a balance between the development of science, 数学和商业相关的应用. Available courses provide the necessary theoretical fundamentals for the study of algorithms, 编程,计算机系统的设计, 以及计算机在商业和管理中的应用. The wide variety of electives allows the student to tailor the major to theoretical computer science or information systems.

As a computer science student, you have the opportunity to get a concentration in cybersecurity. 这是计算机安全的研究, 网络管理, 加密, 交通监控, 入侵检测和事件响应管理. This concentration extends your Bachelor of Science in Computer Science to focus on cyber security and 网络安全.

这个节目遵循了美国.S. government's National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (不错的)课程和美国.S. 国家标准与技术研究所(NIST). 

除了标准的计算机科学课程，重点是计算科学, 操作系统, 种编程, 计算机体系结构, 系统分析与设计, 数据分析, 机器学习和人工智能, 网络安全专业的学生学习六门网络犯罪课程, 治理, 网络取证, 网络安全, 道德黑客和计算机安全.

课堂外的学习

Computer science majors have numerous opportunities to gain firsthand experience outside the classroom. 鼓励学生利用实习和导师的机会, 允许他们与有经验的计算机科学专业人员一起工作并向他们学习. 也有机会参加突出新事物的会议
计算机科学领域的发展和机遇.

职业发展机会

学生 who complete degrees in computer science generally have bright professional futures in a fast-moving field. 随着计算技术的不断扩展和发展, professional opportunities will arise for individuals with expertise in developing and maintaining computers and computer systems. 机会存在于令人惊讶的各种职业中:

• 软件工程、编程和开发
• 系统和数据库的分析和管理
• 计算机与网络工程
• Web开发和应用程序设计
• 质量保证，软件测试和网络安全

能将专业技能与沟通能力相结合的学生, 合作, 批判性思考和分析性评估将具有独特的优势. Lenoir-Rhyne's rich integration of professional preparation with a deep grounding in the liberal arts provides an excellent model for professional practice.

一年实践项目

在毕业之前, computer science students have an opportunity to use their new skills in a one-year software development team capstone project.

作为一名学生, you will have the ability to explore the inner workings of constructing a software program that will be used in the real world. 您还将学习团队合作技能以及如何与其他软件开发人员互动. This one-year experience can boost your résumé and provide powerful talking points when interviewing for a job after graduation.

在秋季学期, 毕业前一年, a CSC-400 course covers methodologies that can be used when starting with an idea and then developing it into actual working software. 在头四个月, you will discover many intricate design and software engineering details involved in building programs.

在接下来的春季学期, the CSC 460 course gives you hands-on experience creating a complete set of working software. Your team meets with real-world clients and implements a software solution for their needs. Once you understand multifaceted requirements, the fun part of software development begins. This is a time when your team experiences the thrill and excitement of real project teamwork.

对很多学生来说, this is a lasting memory that stays with them for a lifetime and also provides an experience that helps them land that dream job.

主要的需求

计算机科学课程侧重于计算科学, 操作系统, 编程语言, 计算机体系结构, 系统分析与设计, 网络安全, 数据分析, 机器学习和人工智能.

而在这个专业，有很多选择来定制你的教育. 你可以选修你感兴趣的领域, 以及一个可选的为期一年的个人荣誉项目，主题是你选择的. 也可以选择专注于分析和机器学习. 这包括数据可视化, 人工智能和高级分析，比如神经网络, 随机森林, 决策树, 集群和更多.

NOTE: For students wishing to double-major in Computer Science and Information Technology, 必须满足两个专业的必修课程, 第二专业至少要修满15个学分.

荣誉

计算机科学专业的学生，经学院认定合格的，可以, 应邀, 选择追求计算机科学的荣誉工作. To graduate "With 荣誉 in Computer Science" students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.专业平均绩点不低于3分.2. 除了, 他们必须完成12个学分的计算机科学荣誉课程, 包括一个可接受的高级项目, complete an original thesis to be submitted for approval of the faculty and pass an oral defense of the research.
