To earn a bachelor's degree at the University of Wyoming (UW), you'll need to complete a core grouping of classes that are part of the university studies program taken by all UW students. Additionally, to major in computer science, you'll take courses in lab sciences, business, mathematics and computer science. The program at UW focuses on programming first and then on the processes that support it. After studying programming languages, operating systems and computational theory, you'll go on to do a senior design project that seeks to address a real world issue. The concentration options available will allow you to explore computer applications in the business world and other diverse environments. In the international concentration, you'd spend a semester abroad and incorporate foreign language classes into your degree program.
The associate's program at Sheridan College is designed to prepare you for a career in programming, computer engineering, hardware support or software support. Over the course of your studies, you'll take general education classes covering English, science and humanities. You'll also take major courses in computer science, such as cyber ethics, LINUX fundamentals, Java programming and information management. Your math classes will include pre-calculus, algebra and trigonometry. Sheridan also offers associate's degree programs in web design and networking administration.
