Information Technology
& Science Division, Champlain
College
Introduction
There is great demand
for skilled software engineers --
the people who develop complex, large-scale
software systems. This major has been
assembled from the ground up by professional
software engineers to give you extensive
training in the science as well as
the techniques of software engineering.
It will prepare you as no other undergraduate
program can to succeed in this dynamic,
rapidly evolving field.
Your professors,
all professional software engineers
with years of experience, will balance
theory and practice, giving you insight
into the SE field that no other program
can offer.
Structure
The bachelor's degree
program in Software Engineering is
structured in the "plus two" format.
In many traditional bachelor's programs
in the United States, students take
general education courses in the arts,
sciences and humanities during the
first two years and specialize in
a discipline only in later semesters.
Champlain's "plus-two" structure turns
this system on its head by allowing
students to concentrate on core courses
during the first two years, to be
complemented by general education
courses in the arts, sciences and
humanities and supplemented by advanced
courses in Software Engineering during
years three and four.
Program
particulars
- You
will begin learning the tools of
your craft in your very first semester
and become skilled at designing,
developing, testing, managing and
maintaining both large-scale and
smallscale software systems.
- You’ll
graduate prepared to work in both
Windows- and UNIX-based environments.
- Along with the
hard skills, you will learn soft
skills such as team development
strategies, software project management,
configuration management and technical
writing.
- You’ll
gain advanced knowledge of C++,
Java and Microsoft’s .NET
architecture.
- Students will
earn an associate’s degree
in Software Development and a bachelor’s
degree in Software Engineering.
Programs may vary from year-to-year. Please contact us for details. Course substitutions are possible only with prior approval from Champlain College.
