Why Study Computer Science at K?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

As a computer science student, you will gain a firm foundation in computing and the skills to adapt, explore, and thrive in the ever-changing field.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

K offers both a Major <\/strong>and a Minor <\/strong>in Computer Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing theory and application, you will not only learn the technical know-how needed to create and implement technologies, but you will also gain a broader understanding of the societal and environmental implications of technology. With this holistic view of computer science, our students are trained to address today\u2019s most pressing technological challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the basics, like learning coding languages and data structures, you will learn how to write complex code in advanced software development courses. You will additionally learn how to transfer these skills into specialized fields through courses, such as Cryptography, Parallel Algorithms, Machine Learning, and Computing for Environmental Science.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
