Computing Science
The Computer Information Systems degree program is oriented to computer
applications rather than to computer theory. This program provides a
basic understanding of mathematics and computing science, and encourages
the application of the discipline. Students become well-rounded experts
at handling the machines and technology that have transformed every aspect
of human society. The curriculum in this program combines the fundamentals
of computer science with the opportunity for students to apply theory
to the myriad of professions supported by computing technology. "Humboldt offers the opportunity to get to know one's professors in a small classroom setting, learn about the latest technology, and live in the middle of the Redwoods all at the same time. My experiences and education will continue on with me both in life and my career - I can't imagine having chosen a different college." Juliana Lucking, '99, Associate Engineer, Sun Microsystems |

The Department of Computing Science at Humboldt offers two undergraduate
Bachelor of Science degrees - Computer Science and Computer
Information Systems. A major goal of both programs is to produce graduates that are
able to succeed as computing professionals. To this end students obtain
knowledge of the basic concepts in the field, expertise in the current
tools used in the profession, and, most importantly, an ability to quickly
adapt to new and changing capabilities used in computing science. Both
programs promote socially responsible applications of the discipline. 
Students pursuing a Computer Science degree explore the theory and application
of computer science. The program provides a thorough understanding of
math and a basic understanding of physics, preparing students for active
roles across the breadth of computer science.
