Computer science is the systematic exploration of all aspects of computation including computer design, computer programming and software, information processing, algorithmic solutions to problems and the algorithmic process itself. Computer science provides underpinnings for today’s applications in industry, science, government, and business and prepares the foundation for tomorrow’s applications in ubiquitous computing, medical cures for diseases and instant access to information by everyone.
The Georgia State University B.S. degree program in computer science provides a good foundation for careers in industry, science, government and business as well as for advanced studies at the M.S. or Ph.D. level.
Program HighlightsThe Computer Science Department encourages our undergraduate majors to connect to practical learning opportunities. Our students intern at companies ranging from tiny start-ups to major corporations like Coca-Cola, Delta and UPS.

High School Seniors and Recent Graduates
If you’re a senior in high school or if you graduated from high school within the last two years, you’ll apply to begin your bachelor’s degree program using Georgia State’s Common Application.
International students
International applicants are those students who are in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa (B-1, H-1, J-1, etc.), students who are living outside the U.S. and who will require an F-1 visa to study in the United States, students who are in the process of applying for Permanent Residency status but have not yet received the Permanent Residency card or students who have been educated outside the U.S.
Transfer students
If you’re already in college but need a change, transferring to Georgia State can provide you with the opportunities you need to succeed — in school and after graduation.
The student completes a basic group of required courses in the early stages of the major and chooses courses from several concentrations in the later stages to provide for appropriate breadth and depth of knowledge in the discipline.
More information on Georgia State's undergraduate tuition can be found on the Student Financial Services website.
At Georgia State, computer science students learn to solve challenging problems and to master new technologies quickly. We also teach our students to work in teams to develop solutions. Pop culture might love the “lone programmer,” but we know employers are looking for people skills as well as technical skills, and we prepare our students accordingly.
