Computer Science, BS
Create software that matters in the epicenter of technology. The computer science program at USF will teach you, first and foremost, to be a great software engineer — the kind that gets hired before graduation by the startup (or tech giant) down the street. Even better, you will know how to use those skills to change the world.
What makes computer science different at USF?
Our CS students learn to code with humanity in mind. They not only build amazing things, but they understand what fundamental problems need fixing, who are those most vulnerable, and how we might make things better through tech.”
Christopher Brooks, CS department chair
Beyond the Classroom
Our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science offers you energy, experiences, and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.
What’s it like inside a
USF computer science classroom?
No CS class is larger than 30 students, so the 1:1 time with faculty is plentiful and personal. Professors will be looking at your code every day, making sure you’ve mastered each topic and your code is readable and usable by others — no floundering alone online or in huge lecture halls. Alongside foundational courses, you can explore electives in areas you love and that our faculty are expert in, whether that’s human-computer interaction, operating systems, cloud computing, or data visualization. Rather than “write a paper on this” you’ll hear “do this internship with this company I know.”

I can see why it’s discouraging for other people in my community to want to break into the field, but I hope that seeing more of us represented in this field will encourage others to give it a shot.”
