Computer Science (CS)

Computer science is changing the world. While computer software and systems provide the foundation for technological advances, the principles of computation influences many disciplines in the social and natural sciences. The department offers a major and a minor in computer science, as well as courses that serve students in other disciplines. Students who are considering a major in computer science and those interested in the application of computer science to other disciplines should consider taking CS 106. Students who enter with a strong background from previous formal or independent study should, in consultation with the instructor, consider taking CS 226 instead of CS 106.
