Overview
The Computer Science - Software Development program at Southern Connecticut State University provides students with foundations in computer science, along with state-of-the-art skills needed for its two areas of concentration namely, Software Development and Network and Information Security. The program is a 36-credit program in which all students must complete 30 credits of course work in addition to a 6-credit capstone requirement. The course work consists of 4 core courses, 4 concentration courses and 2 elective courses. The core courses provide the foundation for advanced studies in each of the concentrations and for the capstone experience.
The Software Development concentration focuses on software engineering techniques, advanced database systems, mobile software development along with an emphasis on strategies, methods and techniques to measure and improve software quality. At the end of their studies students select one of the capstone options: Thesis or Special Project.
