The undergraduate computer science program is designed to provide students with the educational background required for a professional career in the computing industry and for further study at the graduate level. The program includes a core of required courses and an elective program of courses over a wide range of topics. Seniors work in teams to carry out community-based projects during the two-term capstone course in software engineering.
The undergraduate Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Computer Science and Similarly Named Computing Program Criteria.
Biomedical informatics program
Portland State University and Oregon Health & Science University offer an accelerated, collaborative degree program in biomedical informatics. Designed for high achieving freshmen, this program combines courses from both schools to award a B.S. in computer science and Master of Biomedical Informatics at the end of five years. Details about the program can be found on the computer science website at www.pdx.edu/computer-science/biomedical-informatics.
