The Computer Science program at Siena features excellent facilities, full-time dedicated faculty and a wide variety of educational and career opportunities. Laboratory experiences are an essential component of many courses, so that students can work closely with our faculty. Beginning with the first course, students develop their abilities to solve problems, analyze, synthesize, think critically and communicate.
Many courses require group projects and intensive teamwork.
Most students participate in a senior year capstone experience by enrolling in Software Engineering I and II, and by involvement in a well established internship program. A minor in another field is not required, but one may be chosen from any that the college supports. Frequently chosen minors for Computer Science majors at Siena are Business, Mathematics or Physics. Such students will receive a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Siena and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the cooperating institution. Certificate Programs in Computer Science and Information Systems are available for students not wishing to complete all B.S. requirements or who already have a bachelor's degree in another field.
