Jan 21, 2026 CSUCI Announces New Fully Online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Jan. 21, 2026 - California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) is launching a fully online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, expanding access to a high-demand, high-growth field. The new program is designed for working adults and transfer students seeking a flexible path to a four-year degree. Applications are open with the first cohort beginning in Fall 2026.

The online program complements CSUCI's on-campus Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and offers the same academic rigor, faculty expertise, and industry relevance. As a degree-completion program, it is intended for students who have already completed lower-division coursework-typically 60 or more transferable units or an associate degree.

Designed specifically for adult learners, the program provides the flexibility to balance work, family, and education while preparing students for careers in a field projected to grow 15% through 2032, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"This online program enables us to serve students who need greater flexibility while maintaining the academic quality and expertise that define our on-campus program," said Daniel Banyai, Director of Enrollment for Extended University.

All coursework is delivered fully online by CSUCI faculty with extensive teaching and industry experience, ensuring students receive a practical, real-world education that supports their career goals. To learn more and apply, visit: go.csuci.edu/bs-comsci
