Dickinson's computer science program delivers a rigorous forward-looking curriculum built around enduring principles, foundational theories, and modern practices that prepare students for a wide range of possible futures.

Computer science majors design and build software in multiple programming languages, work collaboratively in teams, and engage with real-world projects on local, regional, national, and global scales. They hone their written and oral communication skills and draw on their whole Dickinson experience to prepare for a world in which technology continually interacts with society. Majors graduate prepared for lives of engagement. The ethical application of their technical knowledge to wide-ranging social, business, and academic challenges will drive positive change in the world.

In 1783, Benjamin Rush, a revolutionary in both spirit and life, established Dickinson College to provide a different kind of liberal-arts education. Here, students are encouraged to be actively engaged with the wider world and challenged to think differently and act boldly. Dickinsonians are guided by a core set of tenets—to be decisive, useful, curious, and unafraid to take risks.

We produce critical thinkers who see how everything is connected. Graduates forever ready to make a difference. This is how we’ve taught successful graduates of all kinds, from lawyers to researchers to writers to CEOs. Dickinson’s brand of liberal arts has been around for more than 200 years for one reason—it works.
