The CSS Program offers broad and innovative approaches to computer science and the design of applications software. Our multidisciplinary curriculum enables students to develop a wide range of competencies, making CSS students particularly valued in today's marketplace.
Undergraduate Programs
The Bachelor of Science in Computing & Software Systems (BSCSS) is a computer science degree that places a greater emphasis on software engineering and relevant business and management concepts than would be found in a more traditional computer science degree.
The Bachelor of Arts in Applied Computing (BAAC) combines courses in computer systems applications with elective classes in a subject or field of the students choosing. Graduates are expected to combine detailed knowledge of their chosen application with a practical understanding of modern computing.
Graduate Programs
The Graduate Certificate in Software Design & Development (GCSDD) offers innovative preparation for students who lack formal computer science training to succeed in the MSCSS degree program. In this series of courses, students gain advanced knowledge in programming problems using object-oriented techniques, data structures, recursive algorithms, risk management, product feasibility, modeling, UML, testing, CMMI, systems programming and much more. For those with an undergraduate degree in a different field, courses in the GCSDD serve as prerequisites for the MSCSS admission requirements.
The Master of Science in Computing & Software Systems at UW Bothell partners advanced studies in computer science with detailed analysis of software engineering methodologies. By coupling theoretical computing concepts with real-world problems, students develop the breadth of skills necessary to succeed in today’s competitive software profession.
