Undergraduate Program

The overall objective of the B.S. degree in Computer Science is to offer a quality program of instruction that will prepare students for a successful career in computer science or for entry into a graduate program. In order to fulfill this objective, the program is designed to:

provide students with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of computer science,
provide students with a variety of experiences with both equipment and applications,
provide an opportunity for students to develop a strong sense of professional ethics,
broaden the students' development of written and oral communication skills,
offer students a wide selection of advanced electives, and
offer students an opportunity to acquire industrial experience

CS students at Appalachian experience early involvement in their future profession. There is an active student chapter of the ACM -- a CS professional society -- and many students participate in a co-op program, working in industry for two stints during their program.

Appalachian State University is located in Boone, NC in an area known as the High Country in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

Students have access to a variety of outdoor activities throughout the year, including hiking, camping, biking, snow and water skiing, rock climbing, white water rafting, and swimming. In addition, Appalachian provides cultural events in the month long "An Appalachian Summer" in July and throughout the year in the form of plays, symphonies, art exhibits, and invited lectures. Charlotte and Greensboro are within a 2 hour drive with the Raleigh/Durham/Research Triangle Park area within a 3 hour drive.
