The study of computer science enriches a liberal arts education by
fostering skills in modeling information, developing and applying practical
problem-solving techniques, managing complexity, and using formal languages
to clearly express ideas.
The computer science program at Kalamazoo College is designed to expose
students to the central theoretical concerns of this rapidly evolving
discipline, and to generate an understanding of the principal techniques
and algorithms necessary to support meaningful applications. Students
who graduate from this program are prepared for graduate study or computing
careers in education, industry, and many other fields. Students whose
major interest lies in another field might consider electing the minor
in computer science.
