The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science + Geography (BS) at De Paul University equips you with a unique interdisciplinary skillset, merging the analytical power of computer science with the spatial understanding of geography. This program is ideal for students keen to tackle complex challenges where digital technology meets real-world environments, particularly in the rapidly expanding field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). You will develop a strong foundation in computational problem-solving, algorithm design, and software development, complemented by expertise in digital mapping, spatial analytics, and understanding geographic phenomena.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is structured over four years, immersing you in core computer science principles such as discrete mathematics, data structures, and algorithm design, alongside essential geography courses including environmental geography, urbanization, and GIS. You will gain practical experience with statistical data analysis for GIS and explore diverse geographical topics through advanced electives. Upon graduation, you will be prepared for diverse career paths in geospatial technology, software development with a GIS focus, or further graduate studies in either computer science or geography.
