Learn to develop and manage technology that changes the world in the Department of Computer Science.
Brown bag research talk series, within the department, helps learn more about “AI for good” from external professionals: professors and scientists, from academia, industry, and government.
We offer a symposium annually and brown bag research talk series, once a month.
In addition to many amazing opportunities, I am also able to get my master's degree in one year of graduate school after my four years of undergraduate school with the 4+1 program. Additionally, I will be able to get a specialization in artificial intelligence, which is something that you can't do anywhere else in the state. This gives me a large advantage when looking for a job after college.
