Computer Science

Computer science is a dynamic and exciting scientific discipline. The Computer Science Department at Bowdoin offers major and minor programs, as well as an interdisciplinary major with mathematics. These programs support the fundamental liberal arts philosophy that emphasizes breadth and depth of study, critical analysis of ideas, exposure to different modes of inquiry, a mature style of writing and other forms of discourse, and multicultural awareness through off-campus study. These programs provide a solid foundation for either postgraduate study or a career in industry.

Welcome Class of 2015





The Department enjoys a strong sense of community among students and faculty, fostered by small class sizes and frequent co-curricular activities (lunches, informal talks and discussions, outside speakers, and other social events) throughout the year. During the summer, some majors remain at Bowdoin to work on a research project or in a technical position. The Department's computing laboratories provide contemporary hardware, software, and robotics support for class work and research.
