Computer Science
Technology changes every day. You need to be prepared not only for today's technology, but for tomorrow's. Our computer science and information systems programs will give you a fundamental, yet broad-based skill set that will enable you to adapt quickly to challenges throughout your career.
Computer Science at Heidelberg
Prepare for a career, not just a job
Students are exposed to a strong, broad-based foundation in information technology, setting them up for successful careers in a high-paying industry.
Small, "feels like home" atmosphere
Our classes are small, and our faculty are caring. You'll progress through the program with a group of students who will be more than just classmates: they'll become friends. Faculty are approachable and always willing to help.
Hands-on experience
Students have the opportunity to earn credits via internships, independent study coursework in a dedicated advanced laboratory, and Special Topics in Computer Science, a course which allows our faculty and students to explore new and emerging technologies.
