The Eight Threads
Since fall 2006, the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Curriculum has been built on our new Threads™ platform. Developed by College of Computing faculty, Threads™ sets the standard for the future of computer science learning in the United States.
Threads allow you to create your own individual Computing degree. The College currently defines requirements for eight Threads as listed
below. Follow each link to learn more about the Thread, its
requirements and the resources available to learn more about projects
or programs related to that Thread.
