Software Engineering

Bachelor of Science
Software Engineering BS

Our strong software engineering program, led by highly credentialed faculty committed to undergraduate education, offers a project-based curriculum with great faculty/student collaboration in solving real-world problems.

Overview

The yearlong capstone experience allows students to develop software for real clients. The laboratory and instructional facilities support and encourage creativity and teamwork. Oswego’s software engineering program — the first of SUNY — provides a systems-oriented curriculum encompassing software requirements, design, construction, testing, maintenance, configuration management, engineering management, engineering process, tools and quality assurance.

Join the Computer Science Association, which sponsors guest speakers, conducts programming contests, arranges tours of companies that hire graduates and provides opportunities for advanced students to tutor and mentor first-year students. Develop software for real clients during your year-long capstone experience. Pursue an internship or co-op opportunity in a company or institution and gain software development experience in finance, defense, manufacturing, government or other fields.

State-of-the-art facilities in the Shineman Center include workspaces configured for class-based, small-group and individual activities. Our labs provide a great learning, testing and training ground for future success.

SUNY Oswego’s bachelor of science degree program in Software Engineering (SE) is accredited by ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET — the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.

Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation

This $118 million facility is home to the mathematics, science, computing and engineering programs. This 230,000 square-foot center features a planetarium, three observation decks, a greenhouse, extensive laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment.
