Computer Science Degree Overview
Power business with robust and scalable software solutions
The allure of a top salary in a high-demand field is one thing a degree in computer science has going for it -- but it’s far from the only. With Franklin's online Computer Science bachelor's degree program, you’ll be solidly grounded in software development, building skills that prepare you to readily adapt to an ever-changing environment throughout your career.
Our program is language independent; meaning you’ll learn widely used languages and build industrial and reusable software components with cutting-edge Java technology. The development knowledge you gain won’t become obsolete. As a result, you’ll be well prepared to not only apply, but also shape and influence dynamic and emerging technologies.
Franklin’s Computer Science courses include the development of significant, high-level technical skills, giving you the opportunity to achieve software development capabilities while you receive your foundational education in these key areas: Object-Oriented Design, Computer Architecture, Coding & Testing, Web Application Development, and Database Management.
Engineer your own robust, interactive applications
Coursework at Franklin is very practical and hands-on, so you’ll team with other students on cutting-edge software development projects that simulate a real-world industrial environment. Franklin’s Computer Science curriculum is designed so each class provides a logical progression, giving you the opportunity to assume roles of increasing responsibility as you move toward completing your computer science degree.
At Franklin, you’ll have the opportunity to work on pivotal projects, like creating database-driven web applications with interactive AJAX components. Along the way, you’ll gain exposure to Java, C, Scheme, and Prolog programming languages, as well as popular client/server development technologies like JSP, XHTML, and XML.
Learn from the real-world experiences of high-level professionals
Taught by real-world computer professionals and practitioners, our Computer Science program faculty currently work in the field or have held high-level industry positions. And because Franklin’s online Computer Science bachelor's program is strongly rooted in the ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula, you’ll learn under the international curricular guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing.
In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to build a professional network through collaborative coursework and our student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Committee on Women in Computing (ACM-W).
