Overview

This undergraduate program is one of the oldest specialties of computer science, but it still occupies the advanced positions in terms of the need of the labor market due to the constant technological development and the continuous need to develop programs in various fields relying on information and communication technologies. The computing program design is conceived to fill out the gap between industries and academies. It prepares specialists and consultants in software and applications, able to develop computer-based solutions to various problems in working life in a professional and distinct manner.
It stands on criteria such as IEEE/ACM joint CS curricula while allowing students to get certified from organizations such CISCO and Oracle. After the completion of the study program, the students can choose between continuing their graduate studies and directly entering the work field.
The program covers both theoretical and practical CS aspects through core and specialized courses sustained with solid lab-work. The core courses include: foundation math for CS, fundamental, OOP and advanced programming (Java, PHP, Python, asp.net, JavaScript …), computer architecture and Operating systems, Relational and Non-relational databases, database management systems, web programming and application development, computer networks, artificial intelligence, data structure, Design and analysis of algorithm, cloud computing, and a graduation project.
