Department Overview

Hone your intelligence, make an impact.

Build a solid foundation and find your passion.

Our comprehensive program provides a solid foundation with freedom to pursue your passions. Explore a variety of computer science electives, including classes in AI, machine learning, mobile robotics, big data, computer game design, cybersecurity, web development, and mobile application development. Additionally, you can earn a minor in artificial intelligence and machine learning, game design, data science, high-tech entrepreneurship, or cybersecurity. Adding a minor will not only enrich your understanding of computing in industry and society — it will also enhance your resume with specialized knowledge to help you stand out to employers and graduate schools.

Engage with faculty, gain real-world wisdom.

Our faculty serve as accessible guides and mentors in and out of the classroom. With diverse academic and professional backgrounds, they are grounded in Truth, live what they teach, and assist you to pursue your calling with conviction. All our classes are taught by highly educated and experienced faculty who are dedicated to serving you — teaching assistants never replace faculty in the classroom. In addition to leading engaging classroom experiences in state-of-the-art facilities, faculty offer personalized academic and career advice based on your strengths and interests.

Benefit from hands-on learning.

Research shows that students learn best by actively participating, not passively listening to a lecture. Our classrooms are designed for active learning. You will work in small groups, solving problems together and applying concepts your professor taught just moments earlier. As you work through problems, your professors and peers will provide guidance and feedback, creating an environment that fosters learning and encourages the kind of collaboration and teamwork that are essential in today’s workforce. You will also benefit from abundant opportunities to conduct research with your professors and peers. Check out ongoing STEM research projects here.

Grow professionally.

Beyond a dynamic hands-on learning environment, you will have access to countless internship opportunities, on-campus recruiting visits, and our annual career fair that brings in more than 150 eager recruiters. Before you launch into a career, you will gain practical experience through your senior capstone design project, in which you will work with a team to envision, design, and create a software solution, often working with industry partners to meet their unique needs. You can also pursue research projects with faculty, exploring topics like artificial intelligence, databases, computer vision, and computer game design.
