STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Students involved in programs offered by the Math and Computer science Department have the opportunity to participate in several activities outside of the classroom that supplement their education.  They have the chance to travel, join organizations and participate in contests.  The hands-on experience helps them prepare for their future careers.  Click on the links to the right to learn more about student activities supported by the department.

We also open the door for you to use a variety of specialized undergraduate research labs that will give you research opportunities and exposure to emerging technologies such as head-mounted displays in our immersive computing and 3D visualization labs.

Students have research opportunities along with national and international travel to present their work.  Following are a few examples . . .
