About:

Computer Science is the fastest growing field of study at Western. The discipline is exciting, socially impactful, and provides many challenging, rewarding, and lucrative jobs for graduates to pursue. Faculty specialize in areas such as Game Programming, Mobile Application Development, Machine Learning, Technology for Social Good, and Cybersecurity and ethics. The computer science department is committed to promoting economic, gender, and racial diversity within the department and the field at-large. Graduates are working as software engineers at places like Amazon, Microsoft, or Google. Some are involved with startup companies or data science positions. Others choose to pursue advanced graduate work in computer science.

We care about providing Computer Science students with the best support during their time at WWU. During these uncertain times, it is imperative to continue to provide our students with opportunities to network with professionals, present at conferences, and attend workshops. These opportunities may be presented in different platforms and in a virtual world, however your support to the CS Department will continue support the education and future of Computer Science students.
