I went to Concordia University Texas to

study Computer Science. I am currently a systems engineer at VMware. My well-rounded education helps with the technical knowledge I need for my career and my personal development.”

Concordia offers both a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science. The main difference between the two types of degrees is the focus of the coursework. The BA allows students to take more courses outside of the field, while the BS is more math-intensive. The optional concentration, data science, is available only through the BS.

Both the BA and BS in Computer Science integrate Concordia’s Speaking Center into every course to help students build effective communication skills.
