The Computer Science Department at Middlebury offers a wide variety of courses that integrate computer science into the liberal arts curriculum. Our goal is to help our students develop strong algorithmic problem-solving skills as well as a deep understanding of the conceptual organization of computers and the fundamental principles of computer science. Students from other disciplines who venture into the department for a course or two will also emerge with a deeper understanding not only of computer science, but of their own disciplines and how they have been impacted by computation and computational thinking. A student graduating with a Middlebury College computer science major will be well equipped to create that impact, as we weave through the 21st century.
The Computer Science Department offers a flexible major in computer science as well as a minor. Many of our students opt to pursue a double or joint major with another discipline, including physics, economics, mathematics, and others.
The department currently has 10 full-time faculty members and an assistant in instruction. We are located on the sixth floor of McCardell Bicentennial Hall, but will move to our new building (75 Shannon Street) this summer. Please come by and visit us!
We have two student clubs: Middle Endian, and WICS++ (Women in CS).
