Elon University - Department of Computing Sciences

With the millions of computing machines being used in all areas of society, it has become increasingly difficult to find jobs that are not directly or indirectly related to computing. Programmers, analysts, and technicians who service these computers should be in high demand over the next few decades.

The study of computing emphasizes problem-solving techniques which translate well into the work force in this and other disciplines. Since the computer field is constantly changing, students must learn to communicate effectively and be able to adapt to new concepts and changing technology.

Computing Sciences students at Elon have excellent access to both faculty and equipment including a wide array of computer hardware and software, and because classes are small, hands-on learning will start from day one.

Opportunities for various work and independent learning experiences that complement classroom learning are also available. Other opportunities for involvement include the student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), participation in regional and local programming contests, independent study and research, and internships. Graduates pursue employment in many areas of industry, business, education, and government as well as continuing study at the graduate level.
