Mission Statement

The computer is a tool that can increase the efficiency and productivity of individuals in many fields of endeavor. The Computer Science curriculum is designed to provide students with the necessary coursework to complete either a Major (Bachelor of Science) or a Minor in Computer Science. Students are prepared to pursue a career in the computer industry in the areas of programming, networking, web development and software design. As a 2 + 2 program the Bachelors of Computer Science program is designed to provide a seamless pathway for students holding an AAS in IT Network Systems from Rio or a related Associate degree from an accredited school to a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.
