Participate in an Evolving Science

Students in Computer Science have the opportunity to take part in the continued development of an evolving science. They can share both the challenges and the potential of a scientific discipline that is still early in its development and a significant number of its fundamental precepts and methodologies have only recently been identified and are undergoing significant refinement.

The goal of the Computer Science major is to provide groundwork in the theoretical foundations of computer usage together with an understanding of the practical techniques of computer programming, algorithm analysis, computer-based file and data structures, and the translation and implementation of computer programs.

Wooster computer science students present their work

Professor Sofia Visa co-organized the 22nd Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Conference which was held in Cincinnati on April 16 and 17. Six Wooster computer science students accompanied her to the conference and made presentations. Learn More »
