The DSCS program recruits individuals from diverse settings and communities who seek to become effective technological innovators, who exhibit a foundational knowledge in computer science and use this knowledge to ask questions and creatively think in order to determine the best uses of technological innovation in a variety of fields and apply technological methods to create systems that benefit and improve business and society.
The mission of the DSCS program is to provide quality education grounded in theoretical and empirical research, in order to prepare students to assume positions as technological innovators in the professional workforce. The program provides an academically rigorous learning environment that encourages creative thought in technical and theoretical issues so that students have the ability to apply their educational foundation in a variety of real-life settings.
The mission of the Doctorate of Science in Computer Science program is to provide a deep understanding and systemic ability to apply doctoral-level research and writing, discrete and statistical mathematics, economic and operations theory, technology and innovations management, simulation, modeling, algorithmic design, logic, programming constructs, and automata complexity theory to business and societal topics.
This doctorate program is broad in scope, preparing students in the application, research, analysis, and evaluation of past and emerging computer software design topics and applications.
Throughout the program, students engage in the research, inquiry, and application of computer software design related topics, with a special focus on the evaluation and identification of new possibilities for computer technology and algorithm-based applications. Students work individually and in the learning community setting through applied course projects, assignments, deep research, ideation, cross-disciplinary assignments, and online communications. Completion of the dissertation follows Aspen University's mentorship model and produces a unique new piece of knowledge to the field of computer science.
