Hawaii
Pacific University Computer
Science (コンピューターサイエンス学部)
The Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science (B.S.C.S.) degree meets the high standards of model
programs proposed by such organizations as the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The courses in the degree
can be broadly divided into three areas: computer languages
and problem-solving; software systems design (systems analysis,
database design, and management applications); and computer
organization (hardware technology, operating systems, and
data communications). A senior project allows students to
apply all the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the
program to a challenging and relevant software problem. The
curriculum is designed to provide students with excellent
preparation for jobs in the growing field of computer science
or for further graduate studies.
. Program Objectives
Students in the computer science program will be able to accomplish
the following objectives in each of these categories:
Personal and Professional Productivity
