PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Compare the BSCS with the separate post-baccalaureate program and confirm mathematics placement.
Your complete timeline
The BSCS covers the software engineering process and integrates design across the curriculum, culminating in a capstone project. A separate post-baccalaureate route is available for eligible prior graduates. Ask for a term-by-term plan that includes prerequisites, transfer decisions and application timing.
Plan around the schedule
Allow time for collaborative design and capstone work alongside classroom study in Portland.
Application and selection
Compare the BSCS with the separate post-baccalaureate program and confirm mathematics placement. Check the current first-year or transfer admission requirements and whether the major or practical placement has a separate application.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Which capstone products and software-development practices would become part of my portfolio?
- What is included in the written price, and what would I pay separately?
- What support is available if my work schedule, disability accommodations or family responsibilities affect attendance?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
A computing degree can build relevant skills, but hiring also depends on projects, technical practice and experience. A concentration alone does not establish readiness for every specialist role.
Cost and outcomes
Published base; complete personal budget still needed
Add program-specific fees, books, tools or supplies, exams, prerequisite study, travel and living expenses to the published base below. Your final cost depends on your course plan and financial aid.
Published tuition or budget base
2026-27 full-time fall/spring tuition is $30,500 per semester for 12 or more credits. Professional tuition adds $160 per BSN nursing credit or $110 per engineering/business or nursing public-health-and-wellness credit. Other fees, books, living costs and summer study are additional, before financial aid.

College Scorecard covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. This related field can combine programs and institutional branches; it is not an exact-program, campus-specific or current starting-pay figure. It is not directly comparable with Census outcomes because the population and dollar year differ.
