Overview

As a University of San Diego Computer Science student, you will learn to compute technical solutions across a wide range of disciplines by applying the principles of mathematics, logic and engineering to algorithms, data structures, computer and network design, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more. Learn how to use both computational thinking and abstract reasoning to help hone your problem solving skills and execute software solutions that advance our society.

Key Features

The best way for students to discover if they like computer science is to try it out — take a class or two. The first two classes in the computer science program are Computational Problem Solving (COMP 110) and Programming Abstractions and Methodologies (COMP 120). If you find you enjoy programming, you're an excellent candidate for majoring in computer science. And if your main interests lie elsewhere but you do like programming, you might consider a double-major or a computer science minor. Since software is used in nearly any job, your software development skills will boost your value in your future field. In fact, just taking a course or two will set you up to learn programming skills specific to your discipline.
