As a JMU computer science major, you’ll understand and analyze problems across a wide range of applications. You'll develop solutions that can be computationally implemented, strive for the best solutions, and use resources effectively. You'll be part of a collaborative and inclusive community in which you are set up for success in your studies, your career, and your life. The major puts students in the middle of the exploding information revolution where they study technological advances such as object-oriented software, communication networks, multimedia systems, information security and artificial intelligence. Students will learn about computing technologies used by today’s professionals and how to use these technologies to solve real-world problems. Students will learn to analyze problems, design solutions, implement solutions using multiple computing technologies, test and install those solutions, and communicate those solutions to others in written and verbal presentations.
