Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

The bachelor of science in computer engineering gives students a well rounded education in all parts of computer systems: computer hardware, electrical circuits and software programming. Ample opportunity is available to explore specific computer engineering topics through upper level electives and hands-on experience through labs and design teams.

Our bachelor of science degree in computer engineering consists of 128 credit hours. As a freshman, you will be admitted into the Freshman Engineering Program but have the option to choose a computer engineering preference. If this is the route you choose, you may qualify for freshmen scholarships within the department. You will be admitted to the computer engineering program after completing the freshman year requirements.

VIEW HANDBOOK

As an engineering freshman, you'll work toward completing common freshman year courses while acquiring information to help you determine a major and career. During the first two or three semesters on campus, you will take a set of courses that are required by all engineering departments. After successfully completing the freshman engineering requirements, you'll formally apply for admission to the computer engineering department. Admission is nearly automatic if you have completed these requirements.
