Computer Science

Department Chair: J. Andrew Holey

Faculty: Carl Burch, Michael Heroux, Noreen Herzfeld, J. Andrew Holey, Christopher Lusena, James Schnepf, Lynn Ziegler

Computers and information technology now permeate human society. People in almost any career find themselves using computers, many on a daily basis. This activity is supported by computing professionals who work in many areas, including computer design, software development, systems management, technology, consulting and computing education. Study in the field of computer science provides both computer users and professionals with an understanding of what is computable, how it can be computed and how the power of computation affects human society.

The computer science curriculum stresses the underlying theory and abstraction of computing, providing students with a broad foundation on which to build more specialized understanding. At the same time, the curriculum seeks to combine these principles with the design of applications current to each topic.
