Rediscover Computer Science

Although there are more jobs available for Computer Scientists than there were at anytime during the height of the dot.com explosion, a myth has persisted that computer scientists are no longer in demand or will become unneeded in the future because of such things as "off-shoring".

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Unfortunately, this myth will have a profound negative impact on this nation if something is not done to increase the number of students graduating with degrees in Computer Science.

I have a page up at DSU with comments and links on this important topic.

At DSU we have degree programs that offer the student a broad range of options in terms of their Computer interests.

Computer Science (BS)
Computer and Network Security (BS, MS)
Computer Information Systems (BS,MIS,DS)
Computer Networking (BS - being proposed 2007-08 time frame)
Computer Gaming
(BS - being proposed 2007-08 time frame)

And of course computer and technology is infused in all the programs offered at DSU.
