About the Major
The Computer Sciences major in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences combines a liberal education with knowledge in computer sciences. While the program does provide a student with great academic freedom, it provides less technical depth in computer science than programs offered through the College of Engineering. This major is popular with students who want to pursue a double major in another field such as Mathematics or Physics.
