Innovative computing solutions have provided the basis for advances in other fields. Along with creative, wide-ranging, and profitable careers, computer science offers practitioners the chance to make real contributions that benefit society at large.
The Department of Computer Science offers an undergraduate major leading to a B.S. degree and a graduate program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D.degrees. Our full-time faculty teach the courses from the freshman level to graduate research seminars. Students at all levels have the opportunity to pursue research projects either individually or in groups.
For some time, the field of computer science has been considered an academic discipline, focused on theories and techniques to collect, analyze, and produce useful information. Rapid advances in the field have positioned computer science as the “mathematics of the twenty-first century” with broad application to real-life problems in virtually every other field.
