Welcome to the Department of Computer Systems Technology. I have the honor of serving as chair of the Department. Thank you for your interest in our degree programs.

Our department offers three degrees: (a) an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Computer Information Systems, (b) a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Computer Systems and (c) a Bachelor in Science (BS) in Data Science and will launch a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity in the fall of 2025. The AAS program prepares students for entry-level careers in computer programming, database programming, web programming, and systems/network administration and support; the BTech program allows students to further specialize in software development, networking and security, database management, or internet computing. The modular nature of the BTech curriculum allows students to gain a broad overview of IT applications and to specialize in areas of particular interest; the BS in Data Science program is a synthesis of applied mathematics, high-performance computing, data management and analysis. Data Science is a rapidly developing field with multiple career opportunities in commercial companies, public sector, NGOs, research groups. CST is proud to be the first CUNY department to offer a BS degree in Data Science.
