Welcome to the Computer Science Department at Swarthmore College! Our program offers a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes the fundamental concepts of computer science, using current languages and systems as examples. By teaching students to think conceptually, we are preparing them to adapt to changes in the field.
In addition to providing a strong foundation in computer science, studying in our liberal arts environment helps students develop skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and communication. This combination of technical expertise and liberal arts education makes our graduates well-equipped for further education or a career in the industry.
For first-year students seeking guidance on specific topics such as Study Abroad, Placement Exams, or Programming Contests, please refer to our Faculty Contacts Page. Our faculty members are here to support you every step of the way and offer valuable advice on navigating your academic journey in the Computer Science Department.
