Computer science students may become members of the Phi Beta Kappa national honors society or of Sigma Xi, the national research society. There is also a student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, the national professional organization for computer science. In recent years it has sponsored lectures, taken part in regional programming contests, organized trips to the Boston Computer Museum, and held picnics for students and faculty. The department has two computer laboratories equipped with more than 20 Sun and Linux workstations, numerous Windows PCs, and three file servers, all available full-time to our students. The College maintains additional PC labs and central computers.
Graduates find jobs with a broad spectrum of companies.
Some go to work for leading computer companies such as IBM, Cisco, and Compaq. Others work in information systems for companies like General Electric and Kodak, or take on a variety of challenges with Andersen Consulting. Program Strengths 1.
