A prime goal of the undergraduate Computer Science program at Webster Vienna is to equip the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to find useful and rewarding employment. To this end, Webster offers courses in all important aspects of computer science, from theory to practice, but puts emphasis on the development and application of software rather than the inner workings of hardware. Our faculty is composed of professionals who have day jobs in the Information Technology field, and who thus bring a wealth of practical experience to their courses. The courses at Webster are unusual in that they contain a considerable amount of practical work, often requiring the students to carry out real-world projects. Once graduated, students are competent to take jobs as systems analysts and designers, programmers, network specialists, technology trainers, database administrators, developers of Internet web sites and other positions demanding skills in the application of computers to international organizations and businesses.

Modern organizations are continually expanding their use of computer technology, especially in the application of the Internet to their operations. Webster has addressed this need by introducing a series of six courses designed to provide specific education for students wishing to become developers of Internet web sites. This Web Site Design Minor, as the program is named, is proving very popular with students–and with the organizations who subsequently employ them! I have kept in contact with many students who have graduated in computer science at Webster and they have found excellent employment, often with international organizations and businesses based in Vienna that are aware of the unique qualifications and knowledge which a Webster education brings. These employers frequently say that one advantage of the Webster degree in Computer Science is that the students have learned how to solve problems in a business setting. They also praise the students’ understanding of the value that computerized information systems can bring to an organization, as well as their possession of the knowledge and skills to bring this about.

The CNA Program has three areas of concentration: networking design and administration, network security, and computer applications. The common feature in all areas is a balance between theory and application. Students gain practical experience in lab-oriented classes where they apply theories and concepts.

Within the network design and administration-related area, the Network Modeling and Simulation major teaches students to design networks and evaluate network performance. The data communications minor provides a conceptual background in the operation, design and administration of networks.

The second area is network security. The Network Information Security Systems major and minor cover policy analysis, legal issues, and detection and correction of security vulnerabilities.

The third area is computer applications. Computer networking and application minors cover common office applications, programming, and basic networking.

Students are eligible to apply for admission to the major or minor after the following courses have been successfully completed:

Network Modeling and Simulation - CSCI 201, MATH 211, STAT 229, CNA 397 and 425.
Network Information Security Systems major - CNA 397, CSCI 201, and MATH 221.
Minors – CNA 267 and 397.

At the time of application, students must have at least 6 credits in the major from SCSU and at least a 2.5 GPA in all major or minor courses and all college-level courses. Once admitted, they must earn at least a C in all major or minor courses and maintain at least a 2.4 GPA in the major or minor to graduate.

The bachelor of information systems at work in the development of systems for the Web, with powers to act in the functions of the network analyst, systems analyst to support, systems analyst and manager of information technology. The course prioritizes the technological training of the student so that it becomes a complete professional, a real manager in the information systems.

Laboratories, structured and equipped with technology, promoting the assimilation of content, and activities to provide practical experience of the reality of the profession in the classroom. Throughout the course, there are activities for integration with partner companies - like IBM, Microsoft and Tecnisa - to promote interaction between students and professionals in the area. In addition, students receive training Mainframe, data by partner companies, and right to use IBM tools to study outside the college.
