Professors: Jie Liu, John Marsaglia, David Olson
Associate professor: Robert Broeg
Assistant professors: Charles Anderson, Scot Morse
Mission
Software oriented program that stays close to the current needs of industry. We teach the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science, with emphasis on the practical. Our primary goal is to give students a comprehensive foundation in the field of computer science within a liberal arts setting. We are committed to preparing graduates who will be productive employees in the IT industry or promising graduate students.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop programming expertise in common computer languages suitable for professional practice in the field of computer science.
- Gain appreciation of practical applications via participation in internships group projects and research opportunities.
- Gain an understanding of the challenges placed on information delivery systems in a dynamic information-laden climate.
