The Offutt School of Business Difference

As a computer science major or minor in the Offutt School of Business, you’ll study in the Parke Innovation Lab, where you’ll have the latest industry technology and tools. This sandbox environment allows you to work in development, networking, and server administration in a hands-on environment.

Computer science majors engage in core classes like fundamental programming concepts, database management, and web application development.

As you learn more about computer science and the path you want your career to take, you’ll focus on one of three concentrations: computing, cybersecurity, or data analytics.

The computing concentration focuses on areas like software engineering and operating systems artificial intelligence.
A data analytics concentration focuses more on data mining and forecasting statistical models.
The cybersecurity concentration (new in Fall 2024!) focuses on computer networks, cyber forensics, and ethical hacking.

From there, you can participate in work-study opportunities in software engineering, IT services, web development, and more. You can also volunteer for an area nonprofit in the technology space or join a computer science or software engineering club.

When you graduate, your career can take any number of paths. Concordia computer science graduates have gone on to be software engineers, data analysts, systems administrators, information security analysts, web or mobile application developers, network security engineers, and database developers.

Program Options

In addition to the major in computer science with a computing, cybersecurity, or data analytics concentration, Concordia students can minor in computer science or data analytics, or they can earn an undergraduate academic certificate in applied data analytics (NEW IN 2024). Starting in Fall 2024, students will also have the option of a cybersecurity administration minor and a data science major!
