Computer Science and Other Disciplines

Computer Science is a place for everyone. Whether your interests are in the humanities, social sciences, fine arts, pre-professional programs, or science, computer science is for you.

Undecided Majors

People in all walks of life use computers intensively. We all need to deal with a wide variety of issues, such as security in the face of viruses and spyware, control of public databases, using the World Wide Web effectively and maintaining and searching for information. Comp 150: Introduction to Computing can help you connect better, and note that Comp 150 satisfies the Quantitative Core requirement. Also, how many times have you wanted to do repetitive actions with a computer and gotten very tired of doing things manually clicking and dragging a mouse over and over? In Comp 150 you also find how simple and powerful it is to write your own Python scripts to handle repetitive computer tasks. Many who take COMP 150 wish to continue in CS with COMP 170, which introduces CS principles and design via the Java programming language, which has played a key role in transforming the Internet.

Pre-Professional Students

Of course, you need to complete the specific requirements for whatever professional school you are interested in, but professional schools are looking for more than that: they are all looking for students with considerable logical abilities, and a program with advanced programming courses helps you develop and demonstrate your abilities. Loyola Computer Science majors have gone on to medical, business, and law school. In each of these schools there are also reasons to use your specific computer science knowledge:
