Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Hawaii Pacific University

Program Description

Without the study of computer science, computers themselves are rather bland little processors that follow simple instructions and accurately solve math algorithms really, really, quickly. Computer Science is both the science and art of creating and streamlining programs for these zippy little processors – programs that can do amazing things for humanity. Computer science is also about problem-solving; by studying and developing computer software, we explore and analyze techniques for solving problems and expanding human capabilities. We offer smaller class sizes where you receive attention from actual professors, not just Teaching Assistants. Our faculty are passionate instructors with real, relevant experience in the high-tech world. Directed studies can provide you with an even closer student-faculty investigation of advanced topics tailored to your interests. The Computer Club provides a fun social element to connect with your like-minded computer science classmates. HPU has won the Hawai'i site ACM International Collegiate Programming team competition eight times from 2003 to 2017, and placed well in the regional division, too. The relaxed urban Honolulu business district has internship and career opportunities waiting for you in close proximity to our downtown campus. When you need to take a short break from your academics, the tropical Hawaiian atmosphere and local culture is always ready for you to explore.
