Welcome to the Saint Francis University Computer Science Department.

Saint Francis University offers a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a curriculum emphasizing a solid foundation in computer science principles coupled with real-world experience and integrated communication skills.

In addition to our standard four-year program, we offer the ability to specialize with the following three concentrations:

•Software Development: This concentration is designed for students seeking a career in programming or software engineering. Emphasis is placed on issues related to knowing how to use all the features of modern programming languages, the design & implementation of algorithms, and the process of developing & maintaining software.

•Information Technology and Security: This concentration is designed for students seeking a career in Information Technology. Emphasis is placed on system/network administration with particular attention paid to security- related issues.

•Gaming/New Media Design and Production: This new concentration encompasses the next generation of web and entertainment technologies, including computer science, visual story-telling, and graphic arts where words, images, sounds, and human commands are intergrated to produce an exciting new media format. Students will spend the second semester of their junior year and  first semester of their senior year onsite at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology where they will complete concentration coursework in Harrisburg's state-of-the-art production facilities.
