Why ODU for a bachelor in computer science?

Studies in computer science range from theory through experimental techniques to engineering methodology. In our program, you'll be engaged in projects that investigate each stage of problem solving.

Students who graduate with our bachelor in computer science benefit from a strong conceptual and demonstration based curriculum founded with hands-on laboratory experiences.

This degree's rewards do not come without hard work and dedication. It is scientifically and mathematically intensive in order to produce qualified and talented graduates. The number of students lured by the promise and implied simplicity of the internet and computer games quickly find that they are not prepared for the level of rigor required to be successful.
