Arcadia University's programs in Computer Science provide a broadly based liberal arts background combined with specific computer science skills to equip students with the fundamental education needed to follow new trends in the computing profession. Throughout the courses, habits of systematic and accurate thinking are cultivated, and the flexibility needed to enter the constantly changing field of computing is emphasized.
Internships: The Department encourages students to participate in internships in order to integrate their classroom work with real-world experience.
Senior Capstone Project: A highlight of the curriculum is the Capstone course sequence. In it, students design and implement a real project for an actual client.
The primary programming language used is currently Java. The Department also offers Visual Basic, Python and C++ as electives.
