Bachelor of Science in Informatics
Informatics students design information systems and services to meet the needs of people. Students in the program develop a broad understanding of both social aspects of technology (e.g., privacy issues, ethics, and management) as well as the technical aspects (e.g., search engines, web development, and database design). At the end of the program students bring these skills together to work with a client on a real-world project called the Informatics Capstone. See the program overview for more.
