Courses

The computer science department offers you a wide array of courses, from the introductory level to research and honors study.

The introductory course (COM110) uses the language Python and looks at a variety of applications. This is the place to begin for students who want to see what computer science is all about as well as for those wanting to consider a major.

For all courses, our aim is to teach you to understand the concepts and to learn practical skills to solve problems — and to enjoy the experience.

Visit the online catalog for computer science course descriptions and the requirements for the computer science major/minor and the class schedules for the times they are currently being offered.

All the 100-level courses (including first-year seminars taught by CS faculty) satisfy the General Education requirement in area 2.

Student Interview

Favorite classroom experience at Conn:

During my sophomore year, I took “French Revolution and Romanticism” with Professor Robert Baldwin, where we studied romanticism in art. The class comprised four art history students. Since we had such a small class, Professor Baldwin hosted us at his home one night to have a catch-up lesson. This is a common practice of local professors at Conn. It speaks to the sense of community that is fostered between professors and students and how much they care about their subjects of study and the individual students themselves. We ate Thai food and got to talk about European art during the French Revolution. It was one of my favorite experiences at Conn.

Best takeaway from my internship:

Over the summer and then again in the winter, I was lucky enough to intern at UBS Wealth Management. There, I was able to apply classroom skills and hone my craft. I worked on a variety of projects, presented research and conducted SWOT analysis. Additionally, I worked on many of the campaigns that my 14-person team was presenting. I learned professional and presentation skills, research techniques and about the finance industry from a hands-on perspective.

Post-graduation plans:

I will be a client services associate for UBS Wealth Management.
