Computer Science

LVC’s Computer Science program equips you with technical expertise and the flexibility you'll need to work on the cutting edge of software development and machine learning. The foundation you build here helps you adapt to new technologies, new platforms, and new ideas long after graduation.

As a computer science major, you’ll start with computer programming and mathematics. You’ll move on to learn software development skills at the upper level that allow you to tackle large and interesting projects, working independently and in teams. Along the way, you will be trained to become an independent learner, careful problem solver, and effective communicator. Our program is flexible, allowing you to double major if you’d like.

For all students who qualify, need-based departmental scholarships are available.

In Their Words

My favorite part about LVC’s Computer Science major is the sheer amount of hands-on exposure we get to multiple different programming languages and concepts. Every class has a different flavor, unique topic or part of a system to focus on, and each of them builds out a holistic experience across many Computer Science disciplines that will suit anyone in their future career. LVC has taught me how to think cross-disciplinary, meaning I can use the skills I learn about how to approach particular coding problems outside of a Computer Science specific realm, which has taught me to communicate effectively and approach problems differently.
