Overview
Students with Computing as a Second Major master the fundamental principles of computing, while training in the design and development of systems and applications.
This B.A. prepares students for careers or graduate work in fields that require a solid understanding of computing, and makes an ideal combination with another “big” major such as Engineering or Physics.
