Non-Kelley School of Business students

Explore our majors and other undergraduate programs to find out what you’ll do here and how it’ll prepare you for your career and life. You’ll also learn how you can customize your degree to your goals.

Bachelor's degrees

If you’re interested in computer science, make sure you note the difference between the B.S. in Computer Science—which is offered here in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering—and the B.A. in Computer Science, offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, along with the B.S. in Statistics.

Add a Luddy major

If you're a student in a different IU Bloomington school, here's how to add or switch to a Luddy major.

B.S. in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Science is the more technical of IU’s undergrad degrees in computer science. You’ll learn computing theory and how to use computers to solve problems, preparing you for a variety of in-demand jobs.

B.S. in Cybersecurity and Global Policy

A partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences and the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, this degree provides an in-depth understanding of both the technology behind cyber and networked systems and the global social policy implications.

B.S. in Data Science

Learn the tools and methods needed to turn data into knowledge while improving data-driven decision making. Our collaborative program will help you shape the way people approach everything from the environment, business, safety, and more.

B.S. in Informatics

Learn technical, organizational, and communication skills that will help you facilitate the intersections between technology and people. Concentrate your study in any one of 21 disciplines, from business analytics to computer security.

B.S. in Intelligent Systems Engineering

Become a forward-thinking engineer. Driven by artificial intelligence and computing, this project-based program teaches you to design and build computerized devices and the systems that work with them.

College of Arts and Sciences degrees

These programs are administered and conferred from IU's College of Arts and Sciences.

B.A. in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Arts is for students who also want to study the liberal arts through a second major or a minor from IU’s College of Arts and Sciences, which administers and confers this degree.

Introductory course descriptions

CSCI-C 200: Introduction to Computers and Programming – This course focuses on using programming (Python) to explore problems for a wide range of other disciplines. Students write programs that identify and analyze real (e.g., financial, biological, and social) data.
CSCI-C 211: Introduction to Computer Science – This course focuses on a step-by-step approach to problem solving with programs. The programs students write include several small graphical computer games (Dr. Racket).
ENGR-E 101: Innovation and Design – This course introduces students to foundational engineering concepts as well as some of the concentration areas within the program through interactive lectures and hands-on activity quests.
INFO-I 101: Introduction to Informatics – This course gives a broad overview of the program and introduces students to some basic tech concepts, including work with front-end web design and databases.
INFO-I 123: Data Fluency – This course covers basic principles of data and how it is interpreted and used.

NOTE: There are no prerequisites for any of the above Luddy introductory courses and they do not require prior coding experience (but it can be helpful).

Certificates and minors

Any IU Bloomington student can add a Luddy certificate or minor. If you’re in a school other than Luddy, make sure to get approval from your school’s recorder.

Certificate in Informatics

More in-depth than the informatics minor, this certificate will give you a strong foundation of informatics skills to use in your chosen career.

Minor in Animal-Computer Interaction

Discover how technology can improve the lives of animals from their health and well-being to protecting their environments.

Minor in Computer Science

Add computer science to your skill set and open yourself to a wider range of career possibilities.

Minor in Data Science

Learn the foundational skills that will allow you to turn raw data into information that can be analyzed, interpreted, and applied across domains.

Minor in Human-Centered Computing

Explore the social and cultural aspects of computing, including design, human-computer interaction, multimedia, and more.

Minor in Human-Computer Interaction/Design

Learn the conceptual knowledge and practical skills to design and develop technology and experiences that are functional and intuitive.

Minor in Informatics

Get a working knowledge of the application of technology that will help you out no matter what career you choose.

Minor in Information Technology

Learn about programming, network technology, and interface or web programming when you minor in information technology.

Minor in Intelligence Studies

Learn how to collect and critique the perspectives, biases, and contexts of sources before utilizing them for analysis.

Minor in Security Informatics

Learn about the challenges, techniques, technology, and human impact of information security.

Minor in Virtual Reality

Build the skills needed to design and apply immersive environments, augmented reality, and 3D interactive multimedia that blends technology with the real world.

Minor in Web Design and Development

Learn how to design, build, and deploy websites, web apps, mobile apps, wearable devices, and more.

Consider a certificate or minor from another IU school

An outside certificate or minor can give you valuable experience in a non-tech field you like—and could help your resume stand out.

Consult with your Luddy advisor, and contact the undergraduate recorder’s office in the other IU school to declare your certificate or minor.

Informatics students, your cognate may already meet all the requirements for an outside minor—so you can earn a minor without taking more classes.
