A degree in computer science prepares you for a wide range of technical careers, but the landscape is changing quickly. LVC’s Computer Science Program develops technical expertise while also emphasizing the flexibility and foundational skills that will allow you to adapt to new technologies, new platforms, and new ideas long after graduation.
LVC computer science majors begin their studies by laying a firm foundation in computer programming and mathematics. They learn software development skills at the upper level that allow them to tackle large and interesting projects, working independently and in teams. Along the way, they are trained to become independent learners, careful problem solvers, and effective communicators. Our graduates are in demand because they have the hard and soft skills that employers need.
Most LVC computer science students secure paid internships during the summer, gaining valuable industry experience and insight into potential careers, and all are required to complete a professional experience before graduation. Other options include participation in an on-campus app development group.
At LVC, you have the flexibility to tailor your degree to your interests by choosing a track:
Not sure which track you want to follow? We design our majors so that you can change your path during your first couple of semesters at LVC and still graduate in four years. Additionally, many of our students combine their interest in computer science with other disciplines, such as mathematics, actuarial science, or digital communications.
Rather than specific tools, our professors teach us how to use languages so that we can pick new things up easily. This field and its technologies are constantly changing.
