A computer science degree offers a foundation that empowers graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas. It spans a range of knowledge - from theory to programming to cutting-edge development of computing solutions. Students with a computer science degree are not only prepared in the application of fundamental computing principles and software development skills, but also become adept at teamwork, effective communication, professionalism, ethics and the engagement of learning and applying new ideas and technologies as the field evolves.

Computer science majors augment their major studies with cognates in interest areas that can include business, communication arts and sciences, foreign language, mathematics, the natural sciences, philosophy, psychology, the social sciences and telecommunication.

Research in computer science at MSU focuses on areas that include embedded intelligence, robotics, digital evolution, data mining, and pattern recognition and image processing.
