Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The BS Computer Science program is one of the undergraduate programs that UPB offers. It was established in 1996 and was based on the UP system program BS Computer Science initiated by UP Los Baños, which was also adopted by UP Mindanao, UP Visayas, and UP Manila.
The program strives to (1) provide students with a solid background in the various areas of Computer Science; (2) equip students with adequate preparation in computer science to enable them to get into industry, academe or research; (3) prepare them for graduate studies and research work in this field; and (4) try and instill in them the initiative, motivation, and ability to keep pace with the most recent developments in computing.
