Help drive innovation

Master the technologies that are taking us into the future:

• Cloud-based operating systems
• Cyber security
• Database/systems administration
• Networking
• Artificial intelligence
• Cryptology
• Code-breaking

With a degree in computer science, you’ll know networking, security, graphics, hardware architecture, and much more. You’ll become proficient in several programming languages, including Java and Python, and develop computer applications that real people use.

In software engineering — a class you won’t find at other small colleges — your professor gives you performance evaluations rather than exams. That’s how it’s done in the real world.

Step into a high-tech society

Do cutting-edge research or secure a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Students have interned at Microsoft, Geisinger Health System, and Lockheed Martin and landed jobs with government agencies and contractors, at major companies, and in higher education.

You’ll have experience presenting and speaking publicly and be proficient in technical writing, giving you a competitive edge for a job or grad school. Adding one of our interdisciplinary minors, like leadership and data science and analytics, will help you gain a better understanding of important topics in today’s world.

Engineering options

Interested in engineering? Study here for three years and get your bachelor’s degree in computer science, and then get an engineering degree from Columbia University, Washington University of St. Louis, or Case Western Reserve University through our engineering dual degree program.
