Mission
The mission of the undergraduate programs offered by the Department of Computer Science is to provide students with a strong foundation in the theory and practice of computer science, engineering and related applications,  in order to help them develop into knowledgeable, responsible professionals and lifelong learners, able to create and implement the latest computing technologies for the betterment of society.

Programs
Hofstra offers B.A. and B.S. degrees in Computer Science, a B.S. degree in Computer Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics. The B.A. combines a major in computer science with a broad program in the liberal arts. The B.S. in Computer Science prepares the student for a professional career or graduate study in computer science or a related field by providing a more focused computer science program combined with a stronger foundation in mathematics and natural sciences, while still allowing the student the opportunity to explore the liberal arts. The B.S. in Computer Engineering aims at providing students with a solid education in the engineering of computer and digital systems with a strong liberal arts component. The B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics is a dual-degree program providing a rigorous background in computer science and mathematics, and allowing students to complete simultaneously in-depth study in both disciplines, thus providing an excellent preparation for a professional career or further academic studies.

Freshmen are encouraged to take the first-year seminars (CSC 14F and 14S) when offered by the department.
