About Academic Accelerator Program - Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science and Computational Thinking
The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, while includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip them with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework.
Computational thinking and processes permeate people's daily lives, transforming their understanding of both the natural world and of themselves. Career opportunities in computing are substantial and include some of the fastest-growing occupations nationally including software engineering, system support specialist, web development, technical support staff, software product management, and database administration. In addition, knowledge of computer science has become highly valued in such diverse fields as psychology, biology, sociology, and even philosophy. A degree in Computer Science provides both marketable skills and the intellectual breadth that can be applied to any career choice. Upon graduation, students with a Bachelor of Arts can present themselves as entry-level software developers, and their degree will provide sufficient background for further training later in their careers.
The Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Computational Thinking serves those students with an interest in computing who would like to obtain the breadth of study in the humanities and social and natural sciences provided by the College of Arts and Sciences. An English major, for instance, will be able to explore her/his interest of literature while at the same time acquiring a directly marketable skill, or a sociology major can combine her depth of knowledge in the social sciences with practical skills in computational thinking. The potential to combine a practical skill with significant study in the humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences makes the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Computational Thinking an attractive option for students in Arts and Sciences.
