About the INSC Program

At HU, the ABET-accredited B.S. in Computer and Information Science program focuses on the science behind the coolest gadgets and gear on the market. It involves the skeletons of today’s most powerful websites, and is the root of tomorrow’s most rewarding careers. Technology at Harrisburg University is more than just computer screens and keyboards. It’s a hands-on study of the complex information systems and peripherals that power our world and shape our future. All CISC undergraduate students will complete the CISC program core courses. Students work with their academic advisors to craft an appropriate program of study which provides personal training in subject and skill areas that align with their career goals, interests, and personal strengths.
