About the Computer Science major
Computer science at Union blends theory and practice in an interdisciplinary setting that fosters creative problem-solving. Professors engage closely with students through classes, advising, and senior projects, while many students collaborate on faculty research year-round. Faculty interests span areas such as algorithms, AI, computational complexity, internet security, natural language processing and social robotics.
Students have 24/7 access to three computer labs, campus-wide Wi-Fi, and the CRoCHET Lab for robotics and human-computer interaction. Union also leverages cloud-based High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources to support research.
