Course Information

Computer science is an exciting, rapidly developing field that has vast influence on modern society. Computer science encompasses a broad range of theory and applications. Due to the emphasis on problem-solving skills, computer science is an excellent major for students going into many fields, including technology, business, medicine and law.

The Department of Computer Science at Saint Louis University offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The B.A. curriculum includes a broad liberal arts study and can be combined with a second major or minor in fields such as art, criminal science or psychology. 

SLU's accelerated master's program allows SLU undergraduate computer science majors to earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years. Students combine a B.A. or B.S. in Computer Science with a master's degree in computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, or bioinformatics and computational biology.

Highlights include:

  • A choice of engaging introductory courses, allowing students to better connect the application of computer science to their own interests.
  • Courses that are taught in computer labs to allow for hands-on learning and with small class sizes that allow for rich student-faculty interactions.
  • A position within the College of Arts and Sciences that allows students to see the impact and application of computing throughout society.
