Computer Science

What can you do as a computer scientist?

As a computer scientist you can use evolutionary computation to program robots that can clear countries of landmines, or simulate international relations scenarios seeking to reduce conflict. You can design features for an MP3 player or help people find better answers online.

You can use bioinformatics to search genetic databases for the causes of diseases and treatments for cancer. You can devise methods to maintain the safety of the financial network and electric power grid infrastructure. You can even step into artificial worlds and provide new ways for people to communicate.

Undergraduate Program

As a computer science major, you will have one-on-one interaction with your professors, the ability to work with faculty to tailor your education to your interests, and the opportunity to be involved in award-winning, cutting edge research at a computer science department of national distinction. Choose from advanced courses in computer and network security, games and virtual environments, embedded systems, distributed and network computing, fault-tolerant systems, artificial intelligence, evolutionary computing, computer architecture, software engineering, and bioinformatics.
