COMPUTER SCIENCE
Mission Statement: In accordance with the mission of Missouri Baptist University and the academic program, the mission of the Computer Science discipline is to equip students to enter the competitive field of Information Technology and to develop a life-long career in this field. Students should also be equipped to enter graduate school and complete an advanced degree in a related field.
One curriculum is offered with two tracks: Computer Science and Information Systems. These two tracks allow the student to pursue those courses of study most applicable to the student’s particular career/educational aspirations. The Computer Science Track focuses on traditional Computer Science, giving students a more rigorous mathematical background, and a basic knowledge of physics, and preparing students equally for a career in Information Technology related disciplines or for graduate level study in Computer Science. The Information Systems track focuses on systems analysis and traditional MIS activities, preparing students for careers in business and industry in critical CIS/MIS roles. These two tracks are based on IS2000 model curriculum and CC2001 model curriculum. IS2000 model curriculum is the collaborative curricular effort of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) (formerly DPMA) societies, and is supported by other interested organizations. CC2001 model curriculum for small departments is designed by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
