| The Computer Science curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in the diverse and rapidly changing field of computing. The science of computing is emphasized with a focus on fundamental principles and the formal underpinnings of the field. Students are encouraged to use and supplement their formal education through a variety of research opportunities, participation in discipline colloquia and student/professional organizations, and pursuit of internship experiences or international studies opportunities. Students who successfully complete the major are qualified to enter the computing field as professionals or to pursue graduate studies.
