Beneath the technical knowledge necessary for working with computers, computer science is, at its core, very much the study of how to solve problems. At HWS, students enrolled in computer science courses learn critical problem-solving skills.
Major: Computer Science
The Computer Science classes at HWS provide me with an opportunity to step deeper into understanding how computers work. Being a junior majoring in Computer Science, I have gained more understanding on Java, C and assembly programming as well as algorithm and software. As I develop a deeper understanding, I increasingly believe in the benefits that computer science may bring to our society and life.
