In addition, students in Computer Science can obtain teacher certification. For the most part, the graduate courses cover the same topics as various undergraduate courses, albeit in more detail and depth. Additional topics include algorithm analysis, computational geometry, formal languages, concurrent programming, system reliability, parallel processing, distributed computing, computer vision, and neural networks. Students have access to a large number of computing platforms ranging from Digital Equipment Corporation's 64-bit Alpha mainframe to a very large number of personal computers and workstations running various operating systems with a wide range of applications software. Students have unlimited access to Internet via several computer labs around campus, including different WWW browsers.
Some financial support is available for selected students.
Most financial aid is arranged with SWT's student financial aid office. Some scholarships, lab assistantships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships are available directly from the department. SWT Computer Science classes are relatively small, usually numbering fewer than 40 students per class and often numbering in the 30's or 20's. Classes, for the most part, are taught by regular, full-time faculty members who are uncommonly accessible to students outside of class time. The IAB Board members' host companies are interested in providing financial support in the form of co-op internship programs or scholarships.
