Program Educational Objectives

Computer Science Program of Study

“Program Educational Objectives” are broad statements that describe what graduates are anticipated to attain within a few years of graduation. These Program Educational Objectives were developed, refined, and finalized with input and feedback from various constituencies actually involved in and concerned with the Computer Science program of study, including the DCIS faculty, the DCIS Advisory Board, representatives of local employers, and both graduates and current students of the program.

1) Our graduates will be gainfully employed in a computer-related field, engaged in graduate study, or successfully involved in activities or careers that make use of the knowledge and abilities acquired in their computer science program of study.

2) Our graduates will be contributors to their workplaces specifically, and/or society more generally, in a manner that is meaningful, professional and/or ethically responsible.

3) Our graduates will be able to adapt to the changing needs of the workplace by acquiring, whether via graduate work, professional improvement opportunities, or self study, the knowledge and skills that will allow them to be successful.

4) Our graduates will possess and exhibit an ability to communicate effectively, so as to enable them to perform both collaborative work within teams and effective interaction with a broad range of audiences.
