Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Computer Science] From Elizabethtown College

The Computer Science degree focuses more heavily on developing software than our other majors in Information Systems or Computer Engineering. While those degrees have greater emphases on information management and hardware, respectively, Computer Science gives the greatest preparation in software design, testing and debugging; skills whose value continues to increase in the labor market. Furthermore, our program offers a greater focus on computer security than almost any other degree in Computer Science in Pennsylvania from a small, liberal arts college.

Our department has nearly a 100% job or graduate school placement rate immediately after graduation. With the field growing faster than ever before, there is never any worry about obtaining a job with a degree in Computer Science. Our programs prepare our students for any number of professions and careers. We routinely solicit feedback from the market and alumni on valued skills and adjust our curriculum accordingly. We keep pace with industry developments, and our students are guaranteed practical experience no matter their major within the department.

We stay ahead of the trends to allow our students to become leaders in the field from graduation onward. Our students are also instilled with a sense of professional, ethical, legal, security, and social responsibility. This sense of responsibility extends to their careers making them more receptive to client needs and wishes, as well as sensitive to the local and global impact of their work.
