Why study Computer Science online through OSU?

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program helps students develop skills in the design, implementation and testing of computer programs. Students graduating from OSU’s computer science program are hired into various industries including energy, medical software, aeronautics, national defense, finance/banking, computer development and IT. The curriculum begins with a strong foundation in an object-oriented programming language to establish good programming practices.

Format

The College of Arts and Sciences offers comprehensive online degrees to fit your busy schedule. Using the latest technologies, we put computer science courses within reach for students who are not able to attend classes on campus or commit to full-time, face-to-face enrollment due to the time constraints of working full-time and raising a family. OSU uses Canvas for our learning management system. Canvas hosts your online courses and content. From lectures to discussions to submitting assignments, all course interaction can be completed entirely online. All you need is the necessary discipline and access to computer capabilities. All instructors who teach online learning courses are the same quality faculty who teach on-campus courses.
