Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering

Computer Science and Engineering is the science and engineering of solving problems with computers. It is a young discipline positioned at the crossroads of many fields in mathematics, science and engineering and binds theory, abstraction, and design of computing devices, programs, and systems that solve a variety of problems in just about all areas of human endeavor. Computer science and engineering encompasses the methodology, tools and techniques, and theory of how information is derived, stored, manipulated, and communicated. Because of its importance to our world, computer science and engineering is an extremely exciting field of study that continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Students will be able to:
identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex computing or engineering problems by applying principles of computing, engineering, science, and mathematics.
design, implement, and evaluate a computing or engineering solution to meet a given set of requirements, with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts, with a range of audiences.
recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in engineering and computing practice based on legal and ethical principles, considering the impact of solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program's discipline, creating a collaborative and inclusive environment, establishing goals, planning tasks, and meeting objectives.
apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

To be admitted to an undergraduate degree program as a regular freshman student, you must be a graduate from an approved or accredited high school (GED certificate may not be used for admission) and satisfy the below requirements:
You must have a 3.0 weighted GPA in the academic core courses in order to be admitted to the University of Nevada, Reno. The academic courses include: English, math, social sciences and natural sciences. A weighted GPA takes into account the extra difficulty of honors, AP or IB classes.
You must submit your final, official high school transcripts to support your application for admission.
SAT/ACT scores: We do not require SAT or ACT scores for admission or scholarship consideration
IELTS (must be academic version) with a score of 6.0 plus
