Key Summary
The Department of Computer Science at AUB Mediterraneo prepares students for advanced studies and professional careers in the dynamically changing world of computing and information technology. Our program combines the theoretical foundations of computing with the practical knowledge of software development vital to industry, to provide a broad and integrated curriculum. The department offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in computer science, designed to be completed typically in four years. The department has vigorous research programs in graphics and multimedia, networking and security, machine learning and data science, high-performance computing, data mining and information retrieval, and software engineering. Our faculty members are committed to contributing to the advancement of the field of computing through scholarly activities, in which our students play a vital role.
The BS program aims at imparting graduates with a solid foundation in computing at both the theoretical and practical levels, thus conferring the ability to design, build, and deploy sophisticated systems using state-of-the-art technologies in a broad array of areas. It also develops an appreciation of the transformative impact that computing has had on a wide variety of disciplines. Students are trained in quantitative reasoning, the use of fundamental principles and ideas (abstraction, modularity, data structures, algorithmic, computability, calculus, and logic) for analysis and problem solving, and disciplined development of modern software systems. The BS program adheres to ACM’s (Association of Computing Machinery) standards for knowledge areas learning outcomes.
To graduate with a BS in computer science, a student must complete the following requirements:
