The Bachelor of Science programs offered by the Division of Computing Studies are designed to meet the curricular guidelines established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC).
Both programs are new and will be submitted for accreditation in the coming ABET visit cycle for the Polytechnic campus engineering and technology programs.
Undergraduate Degrees
These Division programs are described in more detail below followed by links to the full general catalog description
Bachelor of Applied Science programs are offered in four areas of concentration for students with an AAS degree in computing from an accredited community collage.
To discuss one of these programs in more detail, call the Division of Computing Studies at (480) 727-1137 or e-mail the Division at dcst@asu.edu
More information on Division undergraduate programs is available here.
Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Science
The curriculum in the Applied Computer Science program helps students gain hands-on experience using, developing, analyzing and testing software frameworks, databases and distributed Web-based applications. Graduates are prepared to be productive in an industry in which software solutions are increasingly distributed, utilizing object-oriented languages and middleware, and in which the Internet, Web and wireless technologies play an important role.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems
The Computer Systems program prepares graduates for computer and software engineering careers primarily in the design, configuration and internetworking of digital devices. The curriculum helps students achieve computer and software skills by emphasizing hands-on use of today’s computing technologies.
Students devote a majority of their baccalaureate coursework in one of the specialized concentrations: Computer Hardware, Embedded Systems Technology, and Software.
- Computer Hardware This concentration provides the broad-based knowledge and skills in digital systems, interfacing techniques and computer hardware design needed for employment as a computer technician, digital systems designer, computer hardware engineer or systems administrator.
- Embedded Systems Technology This concentration prepares students to work in the design, realization, operation and maintenance of computer applications involving hardware, software and networking. Embedded systems programmers and developers work on a variety of microcomputer products, from automatic teller machines to security systems.

Bachelor of Applied Science
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree complements and supplements the education of individuals with an accredited A.A.S. degree. Students are expected to have an A.A.S. degree with coursework matching the lower-division requirements for either of the Bachelor of Science programs. Students without this background will be required to take deficiency prerequisites before enrolling in upper-division major courses
The BAS degree program consists of 60 semester hours of upper-division (300- or 400-level) courses from a university. Thirty of the 60 semester hours must be in residence at ASU.
The Bachelor of Applied Science degree has four areas of technical concentration: Computer Systems Administration, Microcomputer Systems, Software Technology Applications and Cyber Security Applications.
- Computer Systems Administration
This concentration is designed to broaden and provide more in-depth knowledge in networked computer systems. Graduates can hold positions such as systems administrator, project manager or Web master.
Additional materials:
- Microcomputer Systems
This concentration prepares graduates for product specification and marketing positions in microcomputer applications. Employment opportunities can vary from installation and testing positions to application development positions.
Additional materials:
- Software Technology Applications
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for careers where they will design, specify and provide software solutions for industry and the consumer market
Additional materials:
- Cyber Security Applications
This concentration is designed to broaden and provide more in-depth knowledge in securing, intrusion detection and various other aspects of information assurance and cyber forensics. Graduates from this concentration will understand the various threats to computer-networking systems, and best practices for securing systems from these threats
