计算机科学系提供的本科课程的任务是为学生提供计算机科学，工程学和相关应用程序的理论和实践的坚实基础，以帮助他们成长为知识渊博，负责任的专业人员和终身学习者，能够创建和实施最新的计算机技术以改善社会。该计划由计算机科学和数学系联合提供。Hofstra提供以下计算机科学学位课程：计算机科学学士和理学学士学位，计算机工程学学士学位，计算机科学和网络安全理学学士学位以及计算机科学和数学理学学士学位。此外，该系的学生可以通过完成计算机专业的领导力和创新专修课程或选修课程来增强自己的专业。
All three of the major programs in the Department of Computer Science (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Cybersecurity) begin by laying a strong foundation in the essential building blocks of a career in computing. These include courses in problem solving and program design, data structures and algorithms, computer architecture, and software engineering. From those fundamentals, students move on to classes that delve more deeply into their specific majors and degrees. In the computer science department, you'll choose from three tracks: In computer science, there is simply no substitute for practical experience. That's why we do all we can to immerse our students in situations where they can turn theoretical knowledge into real-world problem solving. Our extraordinarily robust DeMatteis Co-op Program includes more than 200 corporate partners throughout the United States, and has placed hundreds of computer science and engineering students in challenging full-time positions for a period of six to eight months, which allows them to learn while they earn. Many others participate in internships at a variety of businesses and institutions in the New York metropolitan area while continuing their regular coursework. These programs help students build their professional networks and get the kind of hands-on experience that often leads to full-time job offers after graduation.
