Professional Computer Studies Major, BS
Campus: Online
The BS in Professional Computer Studies is offered by the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems with supporting services provided by Pace University's Adult & Continuing Education office. This office has traditionally been responsible for lending support to the adult undergraduate student and for evaluating life experience for academic credit.
Students enrolling in the program will be permitted to convert their practical experience into Experiential Learning (ELA) credits. ELA credits can be applied to both the computer studies concentration and elective components of the curriculum. The application of ELA credits will be determined by Seidenberg faculty with the assistance of the Adult & Continuing Education office.
