What You'll Learn
The curriculum prepares students for careers in areas that are highly technical and
in near-constant flux. Students learn how to think critically and creatively to address
complex problems, and how to communicate with colleagues and clients. Paired with
coursework from WCU's Liberal Studies Program, the curriculum is composed of computer
science, mathematics, and natural science courses. All students participate in a capstone
experience in which they develop a software product to address real problems in industry
and the community. Many students undertake a summer internship for academic credit
with companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations. Students may also
choose to get involved in several student-conceived organizations that range in interest
from computer science to a Macintosh Users Group.
Where You'll Go
Graduates find employment in industry, finance, government and education. Thanks to
their academic and practical experience, graduates can pursue a wide range of career
specialties such as programmer, software engineer/software developer, systems analyst,
database manager, network administrator, system or website designer, security expert,
or teacher. Many graduates choose to enter graduate school in order to deepen their
knowledge and further expand their career opportunities. According to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics, software and applications developer occupations are projected
to grow faster than the average for all occupations between 2024 and 2034. Job growth
is projected at 16 percent for developers.
