B.S.Ed. in Computer Science Education

Preparing future Computer Science educators

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.Ed.) in Computer Science program prepares future educators to bridge the gap between technology and learning, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the digital age. With a foundational emphasis on hands-on learning, candidates are immediately engaged in real-world classroom settings, where they observe and apply best practices in computer science education from the outset.

Gain valuable field experience

Computer Science Education majors fulfill a set of field placements within diverse school and community populations. Through field experiences, students will:

• Be equipped to advocate for the needs and rights of each adolescent they serve in their future classrooms
• Understand the importance of collaboration and establishing partnerships with parents, schools, and communities
