Choose Computer Science at UWF
The Department of Computer Science collaborates with various local, regional, and national Information Technology (IT) companies. As a result, many CS department graduate and undergraduate students finish at the University of West Florida with experiences that prepare them for better positions in the job market.
Because transitioning from university studies into the job market is often a difficult process, the following data from the US Department of Labor was collected in an effort to help inform our students about potential occupations:
