Bachelor of Computer Science

B.C.S or Bachelor of Computer Science is an undergraduate Computer Science course that provides education related to Computer Science. Computer Science is an engineering science that studies the principles and use of computers. Certain institutes provide the course with different nomenclature, some of them are - Bachelor of Science in Computer Science/ B.Sc CS and B.S (Computer Science). There are minor differences amongst these which are related to the coverage given to certain subjects or topics. The more popular abbreviation for Bachelor of Computer Science is the first two. The duration of Bachelor of Computer Science is three years with six Semesters each with six months duration.

The Bachelor of Computer Science course curriculum includes Theory Papers and Laboratory practicals based on mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing. The Bachelor of Computer Science course curriculum covers subjects such as Computer Programming Theory, Electronics, Mathematics, and Statistics. Conventionally B.C.S stands for Bachelor of Computer Science and is of 3 Years Duration. However, B.C.S offered by Continental Institute for International Studies stands for Bachelor of Computing Science. It is a 4 Year co-operative education program designed to meet Global standards with 8 Academic and 4 Work Terms. The conventional B.C.S course can also be pursued via correspondence or distance mode of education, though the nomenclature of the course may not be the same, e.g. Bharathiar University.

Those who complete the course are generally referred to as Computer Scientists as their work may involve application theory; development of specialized languages and information technologies; and design of knowledge-based systems, programming tools, or computer games.
