Bachelor of Arts - Computer Science

Technology is at the center and peripheral of lives. At Goucher, the computer science major and minor explore a number of complex topics, such as computer security, networking, and more. The program also has access to excellent computing facilities, linked by a campus-wide network. Extensive software use is integrated into both the computer science and mathematics curricula.

The program provides students with a solid foundation in analytical thinking as well as a spirit of creativity, enterprise, and ethical responsibility. Mastery of fundamental computing principles is essential as humans step into the increasingly virtual future.  

Regular coursework and independent and small group projects provide students the freedom to build programs and learn by doing. Students also design and create a computer from scratch, including the hardware logic and a game they build in their own programming language.
