About the Computer Science major

Computer science at Union combines theoretical and practical approaches within an interdisciplinary environment designed to foster creative problem-solving. Professors actively engage with students through classes, advising and senior projects, while many students collaborate on faculty research throughout the year. Faculty research interests include algorithms, artificial intelligence, 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.
