Computer Science

Computers have brought the world to our fingertips. As we try to understand at a basic level the science -- old and new -- underlying this new Computational Universe, new technologies emerge that challenge us even further. From propositional logic to the quantum mechanics of silicon chips and from networking and internet search engines to efficient algorithms, our curricula place equal emphasis on theoretical, practical, and experimental computer science. Areas of study range across the entire spectrum of computer science. You will learn skills that enable you to oversee the operation of computer hardware systems, including networks of personal computers. You will also be educated to anticipate problems and take preventive action, as well as solve problems that occur during operations.

Opportunities in this new Universe will be best for graduates with a formal computer-related education, a familiarity with a variety of operating systems, and up-to-date knowledge of the latest technology. The areas of software application development, network operation, and user support and database management provide excellent prospects for employment.
