AI is reshaping the technology industry, and employers' expectations are shifting with it. Employers now demand strong programming fundamentals, computational thinking, and problem-solving, along with the ability to use AI tools and agents effectively. Our curriculum accordingly shifts to deliver on both fronts: foundational courses safeguard core skills through process-aware learning, and upper-level courses encourage and teach students how to effectively leverage AI.
Our graduates are located throughout the country, with a strong local presence, building careers in technology, banking, health care, engineering, and manufacturing at companies such as Google, Microsoft, Boeing, and Mastercard.
