28 B. Thomas Goisano Coege of COMPUTING AND INFORMATION SCIENCES Fast forward. Few universities can offer you the range of academic programs, the number of facuty and the variety of their interests, or the sophisticated computer hardware and software avaiabe to you at RIT. The Goisano Coege of Computing and Information Sciences is one of the nation s argest producers of computing professionas. RIT has been a eader in computing education since 1972, when we started one of the first undergraduate computer science programs in the United States. Today, the B. Thomas Goisano Coege of Computing and Information Sciences coaborates with other coeges of RIT to form a computing education powerhouse. The coege offers you a comprehensive approach to computing through your course work, speciaized research opportunities, and experientia education. Speciaized research can be conducted in any of the coege s 34 abs, incuding a dedicated Security Lab isoated from the rest of the campus s networks to aow the in-depth study of viruses, firewas, and other computer vunerabiities. A of the majors within the coege require cooperative education, giving you great practica experience that pays you to put your knowedge to work. Computer science Computer science offers student the fu breadth of computing education. The program offers speciaizations in software deveopment, programming anguages, computer science theory, distributed and parae computing environments, data management, inteigent systems, computer graphics, and computing security, to name a few. Adding eective courses or a minor in entrepreneurship, mathematics, psychoogy, or other areas compements your major and gives you even more empoyment options. Computing and information technoogies Our computing and information technoogies major (formery networking and systems administration) prepares you for a successfu career designing, buiding, and/or maintaining oca area networks and gateways to the Internet. In our hands-on NetLab and SysLab, you wi earn how to specify, procure, depoy, and maintain computer systems to support soft ware deveopers and deveopers of Web and database appications. Neary everything you do on the Internet or on the network in your home or office is made possibe because of network engineers and systems administrators.

This degree wi prepare students for careers in industry or graduate study, offering options to speciaize in different areas of HCC depending on individua student interests in computing, design, or psychoogy. New media interactive deveopment A handy way to summarize NMID is to read it backwards: new media interactive deveopers deveop interactive media that is new. New media are ever-changing forms of digita communication that engage, immerse, and (often) entertain the users. Whereas od media invoved newspapers, radio, and teevision, new media has adapted digita technoogy for the Word Wide Web, socia networks, wearabe computing, and more. New media deveopment professionas deveop and design software for these new media. NMID students expore a mutitude of creative and technica eectives, incuding physica computing, interfaces, Web, mobie, casua games, production, and more. Software engineering The software engineering major focuses on the skis you need to deveop quaity software that meets the needs of the customer, is deivered on time, within budget, and without defect. The major emphasizes the engineering design of software and the deveopment practices needed to bring arge- and smascae software projects from ideation to depoyment, continued maintenance, and evoution. Teamwork and communication critica skis for professiona software deveopment are emphasized throughout the major. Software engineers constitute one of the fastest growing job segments. Web and mobie computing The exposive growth of the Web, the merging of traditiona industries and tech noogies, and the redefinition of how we ive, work, and communicate have created an unprecedented demand for professionas who can hep peope in virtuay any fied access new computing technoogies. The major (formery information technoogy) the first and argest of its kind in the country provides a mix of technoogybased courses in areas such as database, Web, anaytics, and appication deveopment, a with a focus on the user. Computing exporation The computing exporation program provides students with the opportunity to expore five of the coege s undergraduate computing majors computer science, computing and information technoogies, computing security, software engineering, and Web and mobie computing. Students compete courses in computer science, computing security, and information technoogy. They aso may take additiona courses in the other two computing majors as they decide on which program best fits their career goas and aspirations. Students may stay in the exporation program for up to two semesters (one academic year). Each student has an assigned academic adviser who provides guidance on course seection, minors, and career options. A courses taken in the exporation program are accepted by the five computing majors; a credits earned are appicabe to a student s chosen major and maintain the student s progress toward graduation.
