In a world shaped by data, innovation, and automation, computer science stands at the core of every major transformation—from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to virtual reality and bioinformatics. At Gettysburg College, studying Computer Science isn’t just about learning how to code—it’s about learning how to think. You’ll develop the skills to analyze complex problems, design elegant solutions, and build software that has the power to change lives.
Our program immerses students in the principles and practice of computing through hands-on learning, small classes, and close collaboration with faculty. Whether you dream of becoming a software engineer, data scientist, researcher, entrepreneur, or game developer, you’ll gain the tools and mindset needed to innovate in a rapidly evolving technological world. Our students don't just consume technology—they create it.
At Gettysburg, you’ll engage with real-world problems early and often. From your first year onward, you’ll have opportunities to participate in research, internships, hackathons, and cross-disciplinary projects that put your skills into action. You’ll explore everything from algorithm design to human-computer interaction, gaining both theoretical grounding and applied experience.
Beyond the classroom, you’ll benefit from Gettysburg’s strong liberal arts foundation. This means you'll learn to communicate your ideas clearly, think ethically about the impact of technology, and collaborate across disciplines. Employers and graduate programs value this broad preparation—because in today’s world, the best computer scientists do more than write code. They ask meaningful questions, think critically, and lead with purpose.
