Department of Computer and Information Sciences  
Introduction 

The Department of Computer and Information Sciences at PSC offers two undergraduate programs: Computer Science (CS) and Information Systems (IS).  The expected duration of each program is four years.  Entry into these two programs is possible only after the successful completion of the courses in the orientation year. The main goal of the orientation year is to improve the student’s oral and written experience in the English language, to strengthen the student’s mathematical skills and to introduce the student to basic computer knowledge and operation.
The Computer Science and Information Systems programs were developed taking into account the needs of the local community, the interdisciplinary nature of the subjects and the breath-taking speed of development in these fields.  In addition the contents and structures of many programs in the United States, Canada and the UK are taken into account, as well as the recommendations of leading international bodies such as:

  • Association for Computer Machinery (ACM),

  • Association of Information Systems (AIS),

  • Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP),

  • Computer Science Accreditation Commission (CSAC), and

  • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

  The two programs ensure the scientific study of each subject area.  They enable the student to acquire the necessary professional skills in his chosen subject.  Within the framework of the degree courses, the student is given the freedom to design his own tailor-made study program in a specific area of his chosen major.  The program also allows the student to follow a more general approach within his major.

   

Department Mission   

As a participant in the academic mission of the PSC, the Department of Computer and Information Sciences is committed to producing a distinctive class of high-quality graduates. These graduates will possess a sound academic background in the fundamental and necessary skills, which will enable them to solve contemporary societal problems of an interdisciplinary nature and to disseminate the acquired knowledge to others in order to improve computer education and practice.  
The department is additionally committed to fostering intellectual excellence, emphasizing knowledge that is relevant to technology and the community and society at large, upholding high ethical standards and preparing the student for a fulfilling career in industry, government, academia and for advanced graduate studies.  A student in the department can therefore look forward professionally to employment in an industrial or financial firm, a governmental agency, or a secondary college, or a university.
