Why Study Computer Science?

You can make software packages work when other people cannot, and you understand that on-line computer gaming is as much a 21st century social experience as it is a hobby. If this sounds like you, you’re probably an excellent candidate to become a computer scientist.

If you major in the Computer Science program of Vanderbilt University, you will have a broad range of career choices. Computer scientists are actively involved in developing breakthrough technologies from software for mobile devices to artificial intelligence and machine learning and from cybersecurity to smart healthcare systems that transform every aspect of our lives. Given the opportunities and the impact of technology, there is no better time to consider a career as a computer scientist!

Career Opportunities

Never better! Your ABET accredited degree in computer science will prepare you for a wide range of jobs, from Software Engineer to Artificial Intelligence Scientist. Your undergraduate degree in computer science is designed for flexibility and will provide you ever-increasing opportunities to solve problems through computing. You might create your own start-up or work with one of the well-established powerhouses of the industry. Vanderbilt professors work closely with top companies both locally and around the world, so you’ll have a chance to engage with individuals and groups that are changing the computing world.

If you decide to pursue an advanced degree, you’ll get the support and encouragement you need. The department offers master and doctoral degrees in computer science. You might be particularly interested in the department’s major strength areas in artificial intelligence, machine learning, software engineering, cyber-physical systems, intelligent systems, model-integrated computing, or cybersecurity.
