Computer Science at Western offers a collaborative, inclusive, and immersive
learning experience. We prepare students to excel and innovate in exciting and
fast-changing technology careers. Major-level courses are capped at 35 students
and are taught by full-time faculty. The majority of our elective courses are
project-based, in which students work in teams to complete term-length projects,
mimicking the type of creative and team-oriented atmosphere that is now
commonplace at many companies where you'll find Western CS alumni. These include
Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, as well as many other national and regional
companies.


DEGREES, MINORS, AND CERTIFICATES

We offer an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, a Bachelor
of Science in Data Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in Education. Our Bachelor of
Science in Cybersecurity is a 2+2 program partnering with Western's
Cybersecurity partners in Bellingham, Poulsbo and Kirkland. Via our degree
programs, minors, and certificates, students are exposed to various aspects of
the CS discipline, including theory, algorithms, and architecture foundations.
Ethics, as well as communication and presentation skills, and critical thinking,
are emphasized throughout our curriculum.


OPPORTUNITIES

We offer a variety of student opportunities to enrich the classroom experience.
These range from more than a dozen student-run clubs to faculty mentored
research projects, in areas such as Virtual Reality, Cybersecurity, Machine
Learning, Data Science, and Human Computer Interaction. Networking with regional
companies and lecture series further enrich the student experience, as do our
peer-mentoring and advising efforts.
