The Department of Computing and Technology provides Associate in Applied Science degrees in Computer Aided Design Drafting, Computer Information Systems,  Information Technology, and Multimedia Design.  Bachelor of Science Degrees are offered with studies in Computer  Science, Computer Information Systems, Information Technology, Multimedia Design, and Technology. Pre-professional course offerings are provided for students who want to transfer to architecture and aerospace, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering programs.
                           
Students who have completed an Associate in Applied Science Degree from any regionally accredited college or university may use the technical specialty portion of that degree toward the MAJOR-MINOR requirement for the B.S. degree in Technology at Cameron.

Baccalaureate degree programs are designed to provide students with advanced theoretical and/or technical expertise, prepare students for supervisory or managerial positions, and prepare students to be successful in graduate school. Program requirements are flexible to allow students to select courses to meet individual goals or respond to employment trends in emerging technology areas.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE
MAJOR IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (415)

Computer Science is the study of computer technology, including hardware and software. It includes the systematic study of computing systems and computation. The body of knowledge resulting from this discipline contains theories for understanding computing systems and methods; design methodology, algorithms, and tools; methods for the testing of concepts; methods of analysis and verification; and knowledge representation and implementation. A student graduating with this degree can easily move into industry or pursue graduate studies.
