Department of Computer Science

The Computer Science Department offered its first degree program in 1982. Since that time, the department has grown to more than 80 majors and a service enrollment of about 400 students each semester.

Our program provides a solid education in all major areas of Computer Science with an emphasis on Software Engineering. We do not have specialized programs such as computer repair or utilizing the computer as a tool for commerce. Computer Science students generally complete a Bachelor of Science degree in four years. Our graduates are typically employed by large multinational companies who need skilled software design specialists to work on the cutting edge of the field.

Our computer science faculty are committed to the success of our students. We strive to insure a solid computer science education, a great college experience, and a bond that will forever tie you to ECU. Our Computer Science faculty also are academically active, attending professional meetings and engaging in research.
