The Business of Technology is the Future

Big data drives many of today’s business decisions, which makes knowledge of computer science and business invaluable for tech startups, IT consulting, investment banking and more.

Leeds students have the opportunity to specialize in computer science and add in-depth technology expertise to their business degrees. Come with no previous programming experience and leave ready to design the next major algorithm. 

The rigorous Business and Computer Science Integration program allows you to complete a BS in Business Administration with a specialization in computer science without adding additional time to your studies. Students in this selective program take 28 credits of coursework in computer science in place of business and non-business electives and graduate with an in-depth knowledge in both computer science and business—the best of both worlds.
