Computer
Science Major
Computer
science is a rapidly changing and exciting field. Its impact on our
lives is evidenced by all the ways computers are used, from word processing
to complex scientific computation to managing large amounts of business
data. The computer scientist studies the theory, abstraction and
design of computers and the softwear used on computers to make all of these
various applications possible and reliable. The beauty of computer
science comes from the applications it supports as well as the intricate
and developing theory of its own. The computer science major at Lyon
College provides students with a firm foundation in the theory of computer
science as well as preparation for employment in industry.
