Engineering & Computer Science

CTU's Computer Science degree programs are offered at the Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral levels, providing an academic continuum to lifelong learners and motivated professionals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics*, the explosive impact of computers and information technology on our everyday lives has generated a need to design and develop new computer software systems and to incorporate new technologies in a rapidly growing range of applications. The tasks performed by computer scientists evolve quickly, reflecting new areas of specialization or changes in technology, as well as the preferences and practices of employers.
