Computer Science @ Maryville University

	The Computer Science program at Maryville combines a strong curriculum in computer programming with vigorous, creative experience in hardware and software theories providing in-depth study in a variety of subject areas of computing.
	The program offers three options:
		a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science
		a Certificate in Computer Science for immediate employment opportunities
		a minor in computer science
	The B.S. degree can be tailored toward immediate employment or preparation for pursuing advanced degrees in Computer Science and related disciplines.

Computer Science Certificate
The Certificate in Computer Science is designed for non-degree seeking students who want to learn computer programming and applications or who want to enhance and update their knowledge in Computer Science. No previous computer programming experience is required. All credit earned toward the certificate may be applied toward the major or minor in computer science.

There is an increasing demand for people who work with computers. As with any field, those who have better training have a better chance to get a higher paying position. Our program provides such an excellent background.
