Our B.A. in Computer Science: Software Project Management addresses a growing need in industry to manage the finances and personnel of complex software development projects. Computer Science majors who graduate and start out as programmers in larger companies frequently are called upon to manage other programmers. These additional responsibilities may demand competency in financial analysis, business management, and corporate communication. Those who make this transition successfully tend to get promoted in the company and earn higher salaries.
Why should I study software project management?
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) recently published guidelines for a new Computer Science major called “Software Project Management” to respond to trends they have seen in industry. While you’ll learn vital technical skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of computer science through this major, you’ll also gain big-picture competencies in business and communications so you also have the soft skills that allow you to succeed.What can I do with this degree?

Bethel served as a launchpad for me to eventually discover my purpose in Jesus' kingdom, which includes my career as a budding entrepreneur founding Laminera, as well as how I've evolved in my faith and integrated the two.

Mathematically-talented Christians need to think of mathematics as a path in which they may live out their faith. We can use our knowledge to further God's kingdom and live as lights in this world.
