Andersen Consulting recruited at Grinnell and I knew some people there. My computer science emphasis helped me get my first job at Andersen. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that currently there are over 900,000 unfilled jobs in computing in the United States. Recent graduates who have entered the computing industry have been programmers, data base administrators, computer engineers, technical support engineers, system administrators, software developers. These people work for companies in such fields as medicine, publishing, market research, software development, airlines, banking and finance, engineering, mathematical software, and nuclear energy.
Some students go immediately to graduate school.
Last year, our computer science graduates were accepted for Masters' or Ph.D. work at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Virginia, the University of Maryland, Dartmouth College, and the University of Massachusetts. Over the years, we also have had multiple graduates receive advanced degrees from Indiana University and Carnegie-Mellon University. The departmental web page also offers detailed information about the math and computer science major, outlines requirements for its completion, and lists courses.
