Offutt School of Business

You can be on the forefront of technology and cutting-edge innovation with a degree in computer science from Concordia.

Technology is everywhere. It impacts the cars we drive, the way we do basic things like watch TV or read a book and even how we share our lives. It’s also affected the world of business at a rapid rate. According to Forbes, corporate technology spending is expected to reach $3.7 billion this year.

Computer science opens doors to virtually any technology-related career imaginable, even ones that don’t currently exist. With a computer science degree, you can develop new apps, research software and its applications, and create new technology programs to help solve real-world problems.

The Offutt School of Business Difference

As a computer science major or minor in the Offutt School of Business, you’ll study in the Parke Innovation Lab, where you’ll have the latest industry technology and tools. This sandbox environment allows you to work in development, networking and server administration in a hands-on environment.

Computer science majors engage in core classes like fundamental programming concepts, database management and web application development.

As you learn more about computer science and the path you want your career to take, you’ll focus on one of two concentrations: computing or data analytics.

The computing concentration focuses on areas like software engineering, operating systems and artificial intelligence.
A data analytics concentration focuses more on data mining, forecasting and statistical models.

From there, you can participate in internship or work-study opportunities in software engineering, IT services, web development and more. You can also volunteer for an area nonprofit in the technology space or join a computer science or software engineering club.

When you graduate, your career can take any number of paths. Past graduates have gone on to be software engineers, data analysts, systems administrators, cyber security analysts, web or mobile application developers and database developers.
