BA/BS in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Computer Science at Calvin University gives students both breadth and depth in the discipline. Courses reach into software engineering, how computers are built, digital security and two- and three-dimensional design, and students can join research with professors whose backgrounds include artificial intelligence and supercomputing. ABET's Computing Accreditation Commission accredits the degree, a status held by only a small number of programs nationally. The department reports that its graduates continue to well-known graduate schools and take jobs at major technology firms and regional employers such as Google, Microsoft, Steelcase and Spectrum Health. A Christian outlook runs through the program, with faculty who want technology to serve justice and who involve students in local outreach and study-abroad work. Alongside programming and technical mastery, students are expected to build communication skills that matter for graduate study and for careers. The major is part of Calvin's engineering and computing school.
