Computer science encompasses the study of computation and information processing in both hardware and software. The curriculum combines a rigorous foundation in programming and core CS topics with a variety of advanced electives. The CS major will prepare students for graduate work or employment in a variety of roles, including as analysts, software designers and developers, and systems administrators.

Special Programs

Honors Program

At commencement honors in computer science are awarded to qualified students. The requirements for honors are: (a) a grade point average in the computer science major of at least 3.50, (b) an overall grade point average of at least 3.30, and (c) successful completion and presentation of a significant research project or a significant applied project for a community partner (nonprofit or not-for-profit) to achieve a desired goal/outcome. The project must be approved by the CS faculty, and an associated research paper or report must also be created and submitted upon project completion. Applied community-engaged projects must be coordinated with the Office of Community Engagement to ensure successful outcomes.
