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.

The 2011-2012 Department Newsletter for the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is now available.
