Computer Science
The University of San Francisco's Computer Science Department offers you a curriculum that emphasizes software development based on sound software engineering principles. Our faculty are dedicated to teaching and are also engaged in research and other scholarly endeavors that continually aim to improve computer science education at USF. The Special Lecture Series in Computer Science, a distinguished weekly lecture series, hosts diverse Bay Area professionals who bring new perspectives on computer applications, research, products, and industry predictions. As a Computer Science student, you will take courses taught by faculty, get hands-on experience in a small lab section, and have the opportunity to participate in faculty research projects. As a senior, you will be a member of a small team of students that designs, develops and documents a large-scale software project. By the time you graduate, you will be prepared both for graduate school and for computer-oriented careers in business, science, engineering, systems development and related fields.
Class sizes range from 10 to 30 students, with an average of less than 15, allowing you easy access to faculty and outstanding facilities. Our department manages the W.M. Keck Computer Cluster (a Myrinet-connected network of 128 professors which provides our students with on-site access to one of the most powerful computers at a liberal arts college) and the Michael D. Kudlick Computer Science Teaching Laboratory (a state-of-the-art classroom which provides our students with the unique opportunity to integrate conventional classroom learning with direct, hands-on programming.).
