BSCS stands for Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, a degree abbreviation.

Undergraduate degree in algorithms, data structures, programming languages, systems and theory, usually with more mathematics than an information technology or information systems degree. Software engineering job postings often list "BSCS or equivalent experience".

Example: Candidates should have a BSCS or equivalent and strong knowledge of distributed systems.

Usage notes

Some universities offer computer science as both a BA and a BS; the BS typically demands more math and science. Computer science programs may be accredited by ABET's Computing Accreditation Commission, though many top departments do not seek it and employers rarely ask.
