About this course

The program focuses on the fundamental ideas of computer science and introduces students to multiple programming languages and paradigms. It offers broad coverage of theoretical, applied, and systems-oriented topics. Most courses include hands-on projects so students can learn by building and participate in research projects in laboratories devoted to cognition, robotics, and symbolic computation.

The curriculum is designed to offer many opportunities for students whose interest in computing arises from their own disciplinary context. Computer science has links with cognitive science, experimental humanities, mathematics, film and electronic arts, and many other fields, and students from these fields often use their computing skills and knowledge in carrying out Senior Projects.

Before Moderation, a student in the Computer Science Program should complete or be enrolled in Computer Science 143, 145, and 201, as well as Mathematics 141 (or the equivalents). Students are expected to follow standard divisional procedures for Moderation and to fulfill the college-wide distribution and First-Year Seminar requirements.
