Bachelor of Science - Software Development

The Software Development program will prepare students to identify issues and problems, collect and analyze data, and summarize and present findings. The courses provide a strong theoretical background along with the practical skills necessary to thrive in today’s modern, high-tech environment. Throughout the course of study, students will gain the confidence to be an effective communicator and developer. Their curriculum will focus on both IT topics – such as user experience and database design and development – and communications courses so that they can translate tech topics for the non-tech savvy.

Graduates of this software development program go on to careers as highly trained professionals in areas ranging from building direct hardware interfaces to enterprise application development.

Software development is a growing job field with an array of new employment opportunities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment of software developers is projected to grow 25 percent through 2031, much faster than the average for other occupations.
