Description Contents Requirements Funding

The program in Computer Science blends scientific and engineering principles, theoretical analysis, and actual computing experience to provide undergraduate students with a solid foundation in the discipline. Emphasis is on computing activities of both practical and intellectual interest, and on theoretical studies of efficient algorithms and the limits of computation. Good computer facilities are available for class assignments, team projects, and individual studies. Students are challenged to seek original insights throughout their study. Working in teams, participating in summer internships, supporting student professional organizations, and developing interdisciplinary projects are strongly encouraged. Additionally, Computer Science offers a pre-medical option for those students wishing to pursue medicine as a career, a five-year accelerated Master's program, and a five-year combined BS/Masters of Finance option.
