ACBAPS - Applied Computing

Bachelor of Applied Science

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Computing introduces students to the core idea of applied computing with an interdisciplinary approach. Applied Computing is considered as the intersection of Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Science and Systems. It uses computation and technology as universal tools to solve problems, and design and build computer-based systems and digital artifacts. The strengths of the curriculum include a significant emphasis on real-world applications to design and manage complex networked systems of hardware and software.

Applied Computing students develop a strong base of theoretical and practical interdisciplinary experiences. Digital ecosystems being one of the fastest-growing sectors of the U.S. economy, a robust applied-computing skillset allows our graduates to find employment opportunities in web development, digital design, game development, data analytics, data engineering, AI programming, information architecture, systems administration, and network, cloud, and software engineering.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Identify and approach problems computationally
- Use and design computer-based systems
- Prepare for continued professional development.
