Computer Science

Computer science is the study of computation: the principles that govern what can be computed, the algorithms and data structures that make computation efficient, and the systems and software that bring those abstractions into practical use. It is a discipline with both a rigorous theoretical foundation and an enormous range of applications, spanning everything from artificial intelligence and machine learning to operating systems, cybersecurity, and digital media. Graduates who combine scientific depth with creative technical thinking are in demand across virtually every sector of the modern economy.
