BS in Computer Science < UTEP

BS in Computer Science < UTEP
Academic Catalog
2026-2027 Edition
The B.S. in Computer Science provides a strong base in programming and problem-solving skills, a theoretical understanding of computer science, and practical experience in applying the computer to the solution of problems. Specialization is provided through numerous upper-division electives. The program offers concentrations in Secure Cyber Systems, Software Engineering, and Data Analytics.
Marketable Skills
Students will be able to function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
Students will have the skills to communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
Students will have the knowledge to design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet given set of computing requirements.
Adaptability: Readily adjust to changing and complex situations, acquiring necessary skills and knowledge along the way.
Educational Objectives
The B.S. in Computer Science program's educational objectives address the department's mission to serve the region, nation, and the world by graduating highly competitive students with the potential to become leaders in their profession.
Our graduates will be innovative and productive problem solvers in industry, academia, and government who have the ability to apply theoretical and technical computer science knowledge to provide solutions to real-world problems of varying complexity (
Quality of our Graduates
).
Our graduates will contribute to the economic health of the nation, in particular the Paso del Norte region, through technical expertise and complementary skills such as ability to work in interdisciplinary teams, lead, innovate, and apply entrepreneurial thinking with a global perspective (
Local and Global Impact
).
Our graduates will remain at the forefront of computing through research, advanced studies, certification, entrepreneurship, or other means of self-advancement (
Continuous Learning
).
Fast Track
The
Fast-Track Program
enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs.  Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines. A list of courses that have been approved for possible use at the graduate level is found
