Thank you for your interest in the Computer Science at BelhavenCollege . We offer B.S. degrees in Computer Science (CS) and in Computer Information Systems (CIS). The department also offers minors in CS and CIS for students in other disciplines who desire knowledge about technology used in their field. The department desires to provide you the best learning environment possible. We operate a laboratory of select computers for students in the department majors. The department full-time professors have earned their PhD degrees through Computer Science departments.
The CS degree curriculum contains topics that prepare the student for graduate school or immediate employment. CS degree course requirements accentuate theoretical principles using mathematic foundations. The CS degree graduate has skills to work in computing environments ranging from information technology departments to research organizations.
The CIS degree curriculum contains topics that prepare the student for immediate employment in programming, information technology, and other positions that blend business and technology. CIS degree course requirements enable the student to learn contemporary information technology and management of the technology. The CIS degree graduate has skills to work in information technology departments and other departments that use technology.

The Department of Computer Science prepares students academically and spiritually to think Christianly as they successfully perform their vocational and sociological duties. Non-majors taking Computer Science courses benefit by acquiring and refining the computing skills necessary to function in their chosen vocations. The computer science curriculum is presented as a natural science which borrows heavily from other sciences and is therefore subject to both the laws of creation and the moral law of the scriptures.
