This is the Age of Technology. Human lives are changing faster than ever before, due in no small part to rapid advances in computing. Yesterday's science fiction is becoming today's reality.
Computer Science majors contribute to the Technological Revolution, instead of just going along for the ride.
Majoring in CS opens doors to a wide variety of exciting and lucrative careers. That's because we teach you much more than just computer programming; our students learn to
- tackle and solve difficult problems,
- work effectively in teams,
- build big things, and
- stay current with the latest exciting technologies.
Moreover, you will have fun doing it, and you'll be ready to succeed at whatever career path you choose. We've designed this set of pages specifically for prospective CS majors-high school seniors, incoming freshmen, and current students with undeclared majors. If it sounds a little like a "sales pitch," that's because it is. We have an energetic and active faculty engaging in cutting edge research in many different areas of CS; and we're involving students of all levels. Doing our job well is only possible-and that much more fun-with bright energetic students.
If you like
tackling problems and
puzzles, building things,
thinking "outside the box",
working with others, or
investigating all the latest
technological gadgetry, then
Computer Science may be for
you-even if you're not
necessarily "into" computers
yet, or you don't think
you're the type. There is no
"type". CS majors become
highly successful
businesswomen and
businessmen, leaders in
industry and academia,
lawyers, doctors,
entrepeneurs, you name
it.
Four recent profiles of
our CS majors highlight the
diversity of our students:

Our faculty advisors will help you pick the best courses and plan of action for you.
Our faculty is committed to excellence in both teaching and research.
