The Computer Science program provides students with a curriculum in the MSCS key domains
of Computer Science at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The undergraduate program
gives students the full breadth of undergraduate computer science knowledge and skills
while preparing them for careers in computer technology and for advanced study in
graduate education.
The Master of Science degree in Computer Science is designed to provide students the
opportunity for advanced studies in the theory, concepts, and methods involved in
the design, development, and implementation of computer systems and programs. The
graduate program curriculum includes the design and analysis of algorithms, advanced
principles of programming and compilers, operating systems, software engineering,
artificial intelligence, database, distributed systems, network security, computer
organization and architecture.
Students in the MSCS graduate program have the opportunity to specialize in a research
area of interest under the guidance of a faculty composed of preeminent scholar-professors
with international reputations.
All are essential to our interconnected, digital world, and behind them are skilled computer scientists, trained to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world contexts.
Applied Computer Science (Bachelor's)
Current and emerging technologies are growing rapidly, generating a need for adaptive, knowledgeable professionals in the computer science field.
Computer Science (Bachelor's)
In today's data-driven world, companies and organizations need qualified cyber security professionals to protect them from cyberattacks.
Cyber Security (Bachelor's)
Push the boundaries of technological innovation in 91原创's Master of Science in Computer Science program.
Computer Science (Master's)Since 2005, the C Spire Foundation has worked hard to inspire excellence and transform the communities that C Spire serves in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. This year, the foundation's efforts reached the 91原创 community when they established the C Spire Foundation Scholarship for students on 91原创's main campus. This scholarship is awarded to students majoring in Accounting, Computer and Information Sciences, Electronics Engineering, and/or Cyber Security.
The enormous growth of current and emerging technologies has generated a need for
graduates with Computer Science degrees. Students graduating from 91原创's
undergraduate and graduate programs are prepared to work in a wide range of computing
careers, including software engineers, system analysts, computer system designers,
or computer programmers. Computing jobs are among the highest paid and have the highest
job satisfaction (from Association of Computing Machinery, ACM, the world's largest
educational and scientific computing society).
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistic, computing has the greatest potential for
new jobs through 2014 and the employment of computer software engineers and computer
programmers is projected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations.
The annual mean salary for careers in Computer Science ranged from $74, 900 to $103,150.
The summer 2010 Salary Survey of the National Association of Colleges and Employers
gave the average starting salary for a person with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer
Science as $61,205.
TROY's undergraduate curriculum is centered in the latest technological advances taught
by a caring and highly qualified faculty. Students work on individual and team projects,
to include game design, cell phone "apps," web applications, visualization, Teensy
Board Programming, and database accessing applications, to name only a few.
Students in the MSCS graduate program have the opportunity to specialize in a research
area of interest under the guidance of a faculty composed of scholar-professors. Student
projects and research results are showcased in weekly seminars.
Students in the Computer Science undergraduate and graduate program benefit from small
classes and an active Computer Science Club.
For our Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, the subsequent educational objectives outline the expected achievements for graduates within a few years after completing their degree.
Upon graduation, students in the computer science program will have acquired the capability to:
| Academic Year | Enrollment | Awarded Degrees |
| 2022 - 2023 | 554 | 82 |
| 2021 - 2022 | 507 | 96 |
| 2020 - 2021 | 458 | 67 |
| 2019 - 2020 | 368 | 75 |
