Our Mission

The mission of the UNCA computer science department is to provide a broad educational experience for undergraduate students in the essentials of computing. We offer relevant courses of study which develop the student’s fundamental understanding of computer and information systems and computing technology. 

Our programs are supportive of programs in other disciplines. Our students are trained in analytical problem solving, critical thinking, and ethical behavior. Graduates are engaged citizens with a desire for lifelong learning. Our departmental community, faculty, staff, and student leaders, embrace a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement.
