Create Tomorrow’s Technology with a Degree in Computer Science from UTPB
The University of Texas Permian Basin continues to expand our academic offerings for students. Beginning in fall 2020 three new computer science tracks will be available cyber security, software development, and game and simulation. The tracks allow students to focus on what matters most to them.
“We are very excited to be able to bring these new programs and great career opportunities to the region,” explained College of Arts and Sciences Dean, Dr. Scott McKay. “With the addition of new cyber security faculty and a talented art department to help with the game & simulation program, we will be ready to launch in the fall.”
“The computer science program at UT Permian Basin has modern facilities, small classroom sizes, and passionate faculty. Earning a degree in Computer Science from UTPB will help a prospective student obtain a deep understanding of computers, the inner workings of software, and the application of technology and how it relates to real-world challenges,” said UTPB computer science professor, Ilhyun Lee.
Computer science is a recession-proof industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the computing and information technology industry will add more than half a million jobs over the next decade with the average annual wage of $88,000.
So what can you do with a degree in computer science? Anything from computer programming, database development, distributed systems, computer security, mobile applications, operating systems, web development, robotics, and much more!
“The programs are some of the fastest growing professional fields of our future, especially cyber security. Soon we will be hundreds of thousands of cyber professionals short worldwide and lose trillions of dollars to cyber-crime,” said McKay.
