Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Software touches every part of our lives. Computer scientists create that software and solve problems to make that software even more useful. They do this by using their knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, human-computer interaction, and algorithms, among other areas of computer science. With a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Clarkson University, you'll be ready to create tomorrow's technology. Software is at the core of computer science, and you'll become a proficient coder in this program. More importantly, though, you'll gain a deep understanding of computer science and you'll learn to solve hard problems to make software even better and more useful. The Department of Computer Science is a small, research department, which is an unusual combination for a computer science program. Our small size leads to a friendly, collaborative atmosphere among students, and to personal attention from the faculty. The fact that we are a research department means that you'll have the opportunity to get involved in research and help professors push forward the boundaries of the field. It also means that your upper-level CS courses will be taught by experts and that you'll share in the excitement of a program where new knowledge is being created and not just transmitted.
