There are two alternatives for the initial programming course, both primarily using the Java programming language:

• CSC 121, Programing and Problem Solving or
• CSC 200 = PHY 200, Computational Physics.

The heart of the curriculum consists of three courses:

• CSC 231, Data Structures,
• CSC 323, Object-Oriented Programming, and
• CSC 331, Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

This is augmented by applied courses with special faculty expertise, such as

• CSC 310, Bioinformatics,
• CSC 325, Numerical Analysis, and
• PHY 310, Electronics and Instrumentation (with a computer hardware component).

Seminars and Independent Studies are also an important part of the Computer Science curriculum.  Recent seminars or independent studies have been titled:

• Cryptology
• Scientific Computing
• Advanced Software Development in Science
• Search Engine Theory
• Theory of Computation
• Computer Graphics
• Programming Language Essentials
• Neural Network Models
• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
