Department of Computer Science

Applicants from all backgrounds can join the Computer Science department. Students with no programming experience should explore a bachelor program or the Career Change Certificate.

Our campus, located in close proximity to technology powerhouses, enables us to work closely with companies such as Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, PACCAR, Nordstrom, and Costco, as well as numerous local businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Every student gets access to our faculty-led Career Development program where students can gain information about internship and job searching, receive feedback on their resumes, prepare for technical questions through mock interviews, and more. Every computer science student is also assigned to a faculty advisor, who can provide guidance on course mapping and post-graduation planning.

The Computer Science Seminar Series is dedicated to hosting various speakers from the computing field that can share insights and perspectives on academic research and industry practice. Students get the chance to listen to professionals from around the world and learn about their work as well as their career journey.

Students can apply to become Research Assistants for our faculty members and explore topics like using machine learning for medical diagnoses or applying ethical frameworks to autonomous decision-making agents. Check out our faculty members’ profiles to read about their research interests.
