Computer Science Programs

This is an exciting time to be working in the field of computer science, not only because of the continued advances in computing technologies, algorithms, and data analyses, but because those advances have such great impact on the entire world.

Expertise in computer science drives innovation that connects people to their neighborhood and to the other side of the world. Computer scientists drive scientific discovery leading to improved health care outcomes, to a better understanding of the environment and our weather, to development and use of autonomous vehicles, and the creation of smart homes and smart cities.

Computer scientists build tools that improve people's lives and enable better decisions in contexts such as business, political science, medicine, transportation, and just about any area of life.

The professors really engage you inside and outside the classroom, making sure that you are successful, directing you to internship and research opportunities and finding ways for you to enhance your education.
