As part of efforts to improve upon digital literacy in the country and beyond, Webster University has introduced a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science.

The program is aimed preparing students to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and principles of software and hardware systems in solving deep multi-dimensional problems. 

The initiative according to Campus Director, Christa E. Sanders would go a long way to solve the issue of graduate unemployment in the country as the recent job demands require some appreciable level of digital literacy.

“Digital literacy is an absolute must and students graduating from this program will be highly in demand for the jobs of tomorrow,” the Director stated.

The Campus Director maintained that at the end of the four-year program students will be able to demonstrate critical thinking skills in the field of computer science as the program will spark ingenuity and advance the way they think and relate to the world.
