Computer science majors are trained to think creatively, to solve complex problems, and to communicate with clarity and precision. Upon successful completion of the computer science program, graduates are actively recruited by major computer corporations, commercial software companies, and research institutions. In addition, graduates are sought after by employers in other fields, including graphics and animation, business, health, and banking. The degree programs in the Computer Science Department at BYU prepare students to be confident programmers, communicators, and problem solvers, training them for entrance into new areas where their skills will have increasingly significant impacts. Current national forecasts predict that a favorable market for technology-related jobs will continue well into the next decade.<br><br>Computer science majors, especially those planning graduate work, are advised to acquire a strong background in mathematics, possibly a minor.<br>Personnel in the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Advisement Center will advise regarding core courses and suggested general education. Questions regarding curriculum and career decisions should be directed to the undergraduate advisor in the Computer Science Department.<br>Note: All hours of credit applied toward a major in computer science must be of C- or better and must be taken within eight years of declaring the computer science major. Any exceptions must be approved by the department. Students may choose to graduate under later requirements by updating their date of entry into the major at the college advisement center.
