Computer Science at Fulbright
The Computer Science major prepares students with an adaptable skill set to respond to the astonishing speed of technological change and develop solutions for the problems of today and tomorrow. Using a student-centered, interdisciplinary, and future-focused approach, the Computer Science major aims to educate the next generation of local leaders who will make a meaningful and lasting societal impact both in Vietnam – one of the most quickly emerging and innovative technology economies in the world – and beyond. As part of the major, students will be equipped with the foundational knowledge in Computer Science and relevant disciplines. They will be exposed to essential areas of the CS discipline including theory, systems, and applications. They will learn about the underlying mathematical ideas that are critical for computation, establish proficiency in the process of designing systems and applications, gain experience in collecting and analyzing data using modern technologies, and begin to develop an understanding for the role of users in the design of systems and applications. Courses in Computer Science go beyond content to help students learn through direct experiences in projects and problems. In the future, they will also have the opportunity to further focus their studies by selecting a concentration, such as data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, business analytics, digital media, and software engineering. The Computer Science major at Fulbright is designed to prepare students for work in industry or continue their lifelong learning as well as potential graduate-level studies.
Welcome to the Computer Science Major at Fulbright!
Our undergraduate program combines traditional engineering with liberal education. Students will have opportunities to explore various fields of computer science and their applications in other disciplines. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality teaching and conducting high-impact research to nurture talented individuals in the discipline.
