Academic Departments
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science at the Galveston campus. The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science awarded at the Galveston campus is the same computer science degree as the one offered at the College Station campus. The academic benefits of studying Computer Science at the Galveston campus are small classroom sizes (less than 60 students), opportunities to minor in or take concentration area classes in unique ocean-oriented sciences offered at Galveston campus, opportunities to take classes on one of Texas A&M at Galveston’s sea vessels, and access to full College Station campus resources.

The Department of Ocean Engineering offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Offshore and Coastal Systems Engineering (OCSE) and Ocean Engineering (OCEN), and Masters and Doctoral-level degrees in Ocean Engineering. Each of the undergraduate programs is ABET-accredited in Ocean Engineering and effectively synthesizes ocean engineering, civil engineering, and naval architecture to the design of ocean systems and structures. This Department was formed in 2015 though the combination of the existing Department of Maritime Systems Engineering in Galveston with the program of Ocean Engineering in College Station, each of which had been graduating students into this exciting field for 40 years.about the Department of Ocean Engineering
