Computer Science for Business

Bridge Technology and Business in an AI-Powered World
Most programs force you to choose between tech and business—Hult doesn’t. This interdisciplinary degree, based at Hult’s flagship Boston campus, fuses computer science, analytics, applied AI, and the core human skills that businesses want into one powerful toolkit. You’ll learn to solve real-world problems with data, code, and strategy to build and grow tomorrow’s businesses.
The core of your Bachelor of Computer Science for Business (BCSB) program gives you the foundational knowledge you need. Each term, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in your courses to a new core challenge. At the end of your studies, you’ll bring everything together in your capstone project, as a final demonstration of your abilities.

What Makes Us Stand Out
Combine business acumen with tech expertise
Most programs make you choose between business and technology. Hult doesn’t. This degree brings together computer science, analytics, artificial intelligence, and business to give you one powerful, future-ready skill set.

Tackle real-world challenges
From day one, you’ll take on hands-on, team-based challenges—building apps, solving real business problems, and working with the disruptive technologies reshaping global business.

Graduate career-ready
Alongside your core curriculum, every Hult student has access to a full catalog of certification programs through our partnership with Coursera. You can customize your degree with certification electives and graduate with recognized technical credentials in areas such as cloud computing and data science.

Build the skills AI can’t replace
In addition to business knowledge and technical expertise, you’ll develop the human skills that will keep you ahead: communication, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, and collaboration.

Define your path with personal coaching
With one-to-one guidance from your personal development coach and expert career counselors, you’ll connect every step of your learning journey to your dream career.

Course Modules

Your Core Modules at Hult
