The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering synergistically integrates proven engineering techniques and discipline with software development best practices that encompass all aspects of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This degree will prepare students to meet the ever-growing demands within the commercial, industrial, and federal government job sectors. Relevant software methodologies, such as Agile development, automated testing using continuous integration, and Software Development & Information Technology Operations (SW DevOps) to increase the velocity of software application and service delivery, are also integral to the curriculum. Using these types of agile and adaptive approaches, students will be well suited for the many diverse opportunities in a rapidly growing and ever evolving career in software engineering.
