The School of Computing at the University of Georgia proudly announces that our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Science. ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental agency that accredits college and university programs in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology. ABET is guided by industry, government, and academic constituents. This accreditation validates the School of Computing's commitment to providing an education that meets the highest standards of the profession. MISSION The School of Computing is multi-faceted, aiming to serve our students, faculty, and community alike. Our overriding priorities are to: To offer rigorous undergraduate and graduate degree programs for students seeking careers or further study in the field of computer science. To support faculty research efforts in applied, theoretical, and experimental aspects of computer science, To co-operate with other UGA departments and schools on interdisciplinary research, instructional, and service programs; To engage in outreach to the local community and beyond so that computer science can have a positive impact on people's lives. Program Educational Objectives The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS-CS) degree has the following program educational objectives: 1. Graduates will be successfully employed in the computing profession or will be actively pursuing advanced degrees in computing or a related discipline.2. Graduates will have a thorough grounding in the principles, current standards, and practices of computing, and be properly prepared to engage in further learning.3. Graduates will have an understanding of social and ethical issues relating to computer science and information technology, enabling them to be responsible members of their profession and informed citizens. Student Outcomes (1 - 6) Students who successfully meet the BS-CS program requirements will demonstrate the following student outcomes: 1. Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
