We think about your future!

The Department of Computer Science collaborates with various local, regional, and national Information Technology (IT) companies. As a result, many CS department graduate and undergraduate students finish University of West Florida with experiences that prepare them for better positions in the job market.

"Employment in professional, scientific, and technical services will grow by 28.8 percent and add 2.1 million new jobs by 2016. Employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 38.3 percent and add nearly one-fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services. Employment growth will be driven by the increasing reliance of businesses on information technology and the continuing importance of maintaining system and network security. Management, scientific, and technical consulting services also will grow at a staggering 78 percent and account for another third of growth in this supersector. Demand for these services will be spurred by the increased use of new technology and computer software and the growing complexity of business." [1]

The computer science related jobs are on the list of the top 30 occupations with the largest employment! [2]

In order to meet new technological challenges in Spring 2010 we are moving to a new complex for the School of Science and Engineering. The supermodern facility will be one of the first of its kind. It will host programs in Computer Science, Physics, Computer and Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics and Statistics. The new interdisciplinary approach will be emphasized for integrated problem solving with projects in robotics and gaming, cyber security, energy independence, and more.

Computer Science...changing the lives of everyone!
