Our committed faculty is dedicated to developing students who have the depth of knowledge to solve the most challenging technical problems while also having the broad knowledge base fostered by a liberal arts education and sought after by industry and graduate schools alike.

A key component of our educational philosophy is to help students become professionals ready to adapt to the rapid pace of change in the tech world, while giving them a strong foundation in the enduring core principles of the discipline.

As a computer science student at Hope, you will:

  • Be taught by faculty members who know you and work hard to provide the best education available, tailored as much as possible to your particular interests and talents
  • Have opportunities to further your classroom experiences through independent study and research, as well as through many internship opportunities

  • Be provided with all of the equipment and tools you’ll need to meet and exceed your potential

Have more than one interest?

Computer Science is a great subject to combine with other majors and minors. As the world becomes increasingly driven by data, having the ability to be a producer, rather than just a consumer, of technology is increasingly important.
