Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott Campus, USA

The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering prepares students for software developer positions in industries ranging from aerospace software to video game development. With real-world, hands-on projects like flight control for autonomous aircraft or power line collision avoidance using computer vision, this program gives students a chance to create, test and evaluate software applications and systems.  

The Software Engineering degree features an optional focus on cyber-security. Students who select this focus will be prepared to support government and industry needs for professionals skilled in software development, as well as cyber-security.
