The computer science major provides the opportunity for students to develop skills in writing algorithms to solve problems across academic disciplines; to design and write software in a variety of languages; to understand the fundamental concepts and issues in data structures, systems administration, computer architecture, web programming, networking, machine learning, and artificial intelligence; and to develop the ability to communicate their knowledge effectively.
This program prepares majors for postgraduate study in computer science and for entry-level positions as computer professionals in industry. Students planning to major in computer science earn a B.S. degree. A computer science major should plan to enroll in Computer Science 135 or a higher course during their first semester at Millikin. Placement in the proper computer science course will be determined in consultation with the faculty advisor based on the student’s previous record in computer science.
