Northwestern Oklahoma State University offers many opportunities through its Computer Science Program. Majors are available in Computer Science as well as Information Systems. There is also a Game Programming minor available and many students choose to major and minor in Computer Science. Courses offered include programming, database, networking, robotics, computer forensics, game development, operating systems, and website and app development.
The department recently opened the Bill & Billie Buckles Computer Science Robotics lab. This lab provides high-end computers, a 3D printer, as well as a robotics build lab with various equipment and resources. Students interested in Gamming, Game Development, and Game Programming also utilize this lab. NWOSU has an active student eSports team as well as a Game Programming team.
The field of Computer Science provides strong employment opportunities. NWOSU Computer Science students are very successful obtaining jobs in the field of Computer Science after graduation. While at NWOSU, internship opportunities are also available to students.
