Majors
Our department offers undergraduate students three majors: computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering. Students in each major will learn many of the same concepts and even take some of the same courses, but will have different academic requirements and learning experiences.

Minors and Focus Areas
Students also have the opportunity to minor in computer science, or graduate with a computer science focus (advanced skills in a specific area). The University of Nebraska–Lincoln does not currently offer a minor in computer engineering or any engineering discipline.

Visit the University
Visit our beautiful campus and explore our department! Campus visits can be booked through the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Visitors Center.
Prospective students and families who would like to learn more about the department on an individualized tour can sign up for a Husker Weekday Visit. Our recruitment coordinator will give a 30-minute tour of the department and its research labs, and will dedicate another 30 minutes to answering questions regarding scholarships, clubs, majors, job opportunities, and any others students and parents have.

Connect with Us
We also offer a variety of opportunities for students to explore our programs virtually. Students and their families can coordinate 1-1 virtual visits with our recruitment coordinator, attend an online seminar, or participate in Admitted Student Days (an online campus visitation experience).
