Computer Science at WSU is designed to give students an understanding of both theoretical and applied computer science. Students interested in theoretical or technical aspects of computer science can choose Option A, Computer Science Major. Others who may be interested in applied area can choose Option B, Computer Information Systems Major.

Enthusiastic faculty who enjoy working with and advising students teach our lab-based curriculum. Personal attention and quality of teaching are strong points of WSU's Computer Science Department.

Option A (Computer Science) This option prepares students for technical careers or graduate school and in the work place.

Option B (Computer Information Systems) This option prepares students for careers in allied industries where computing is intense. The program is a combination of computer science and business as they apply to the work environment.

Computer Science faculty have advanced degrees and many of our faculty at WSU have industrial experience. They belong to professional computer societies, are engaged in consulting, research, writing, and regularly attend training courses, national/international meetings, conferences, and workshops. Adjunct faculty (typically selected from industries) teach special courses.

Class sizes are kept to a minimum (25-30 students) with emphasis on instruction and active learning process.
