Bachelor
of Software Engineering (BA)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Software Engineering (BA)
program provides students with key components
of common technologies and skills that are
used in software engineering. Students may
pursue career opportunities in a variety
of entry level positions, including software
developer, software programmer, application
developer, Web application developer, software
engineer, software applications analyst,
Web applications analyst, Web applications
specialist and software applications specialist.
The Bachelor of Software Engineering (BA)
program is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Software
Engineering (BA) curriculum is designed
individually by the student and academic
advisor. It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities
in the student’s major and intended
field of work. Understanding that industry
and geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead of
a standardized one-fits-all design is the
hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Job Description
Bachelors in Software Engineering
Computer software engineers study the needs
of computer users and then design software
to meet those needs. They create a set of
step by step instructions that a computer
can follow. Sometimes software engineers
then translate these instructions into computer
language, but that is usually the job of
a computer programmer. Computer applications
software engineers work on software designed
for general computer applications or special
utility programs. Computer systems software
engineers coordinate the needs of departments
within a company and offer suggestions for
the overall technical direction to construct,
maintain, and expand the company's computer
systems.
Skills for Success
- Software engineers need to be dedicated
to continue their training and education
throughout their careers. Software engineers
are also generally responsible for several
tasks at once making the ability to pay
attention to detail, even when multi-tasking,
essential. Individuals who are successful
in this field also have strong analytical
and problem solving skills while being
able to communicate effectively with team
members.
Employment Opportunities
for Software Engineering
- Advertising. Your study of human culture
and society can prove very helpful when
trying to figure out how people might
react to a certain kind of advertising
and your specific background, be it music,
philosophy or beyond, can enable highly
creative thinking.
- Foreign Service. Especially if you've
majored in the study of a particular culture,
your ability to understand the workings
of human society are invaluable when trying
to work in a foreign country.
- Journalism. Good communicative skills
and the ability to think analytically
are the most important qualities for a
journalist. Many top journalists have
humanities and liberal arts backgrounds
instead of journalism school degrees.
- Law. Humanities majors are the most
common prerequisites for law school. It
may seem to require a lot of rote memorization
of court cases and laws, but by far the
most crucial attribute for any lawyer
is the ability to think critically and
to relate current issues to past ones
(history is a popular undergraduate degree
for law students).
- Public administration. If you've studied
how societies work, you're probably qualified
to help make them work.
- Publishing. This is a good choice for
literature and communications majors,
who must be able to recognize quality
writing when they see it and champion
it to publishers and the reading public.
- Teaching. If you're passionate about
your subject, pass it on to others. The
skills you learn in your own degree program
can be taught to the next generation.
