Computer Science Program Overview

The late Dutch computer scientist and software engineer Edsger W. Dijkstra famously said, “Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.” This famous quote means that computer science is not defined by its tools. Rather, it is a complex and versatile discipline that empowers us to create solutions to nearly every type of problem that we encounter. You’ll learn the fundamentals of programming languages, algorithms, data structures, logic, and numerical relationships. With this toolkit and mentorship from award-winning professors, you’ll be prepared to launch a meaningful career in whatever industry you choose.
