Georgia Southern’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE) program blends classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory experience. Students will explore a broad curriculum that emphasizes the application of engineering principles and analysis and design skills to solve problems in a cutting-edge field. With training in subjects including analog and digital circuits, computer architecture, robotics, software engineering, and more, students will gain the tools necessary to put ideas into action and real-world solutions. Courses in this program are available on both the Armstrong and Statesboro Campuses. However, the final two years of the degree must be completed in Statesboro.

The CpE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
