Computer Science
The new millennium will undoubtedly bring continued advancement in computer technology thus creating a challenge to devise ways for it to be used to change the business world. The computer science program at Cedar Crest College offers the student an opportunity to investigate all aspects of the computer in a wide variety of courses in both computer science and information systems. This training enables the student to make her contribution to the field through one of the many career opportunities available in industry, business, government, and education.
In as much as the study of computer science requires analytic and abstract reasoning, the student majoring in computer science is required to take nine more credits of mathematics as described below and is encouraged to do further course work in mathematics or in any of the specialized areas presented. Indeed, a program involving a minor in mathematics would provide an excellent course of study in preparation for a number of career possibilities. The student has the opportunity to gain work experience during her senior year through internship positions available in local businesses and industries.
