About Computer Science (b.a.) in Florida International University
The B.A in Computer Science (CS) is intended for students targeting a career in the computing field. The program provides a solid foundation in Computer Science blended with an interdisciplinary field of their choices such as Digital Media, Business, Economics and more and permits flexible elective courses to be taken outside of the discipline.
The program prepares students to gain knowledge and experience in the fundamentals of computer science, including computer organization and architecture, data structures and related algorithms, and programming languages as well as technical skills and application of technology. The B.A. in Computer Science is SACS accredited, but unlike our B.S. in Computer Science, it is non-ABET accredited.
