There is little sense of community. As telecommunications improve, this situation will become worse. To support their education, students have jobs that take up time and energy. The four year degree has become a myth to many students. The Computer Science Club has recently become viable after years of inactivity.
Students represent great diversity in ethnicity.
The Department seeks to develop the analytic, communication, and cooperative skills of students necessary for the practice of the discipline and the profession of Computer Science. Strategic planning results from a consideration of the goals of the project. To foster in all students an awareness and appreciation of the varied and changing roles of computing and information technology in contemporary society. To provide instruction in the fundamentals of the discipline for undergraduate majors and minors, and for graduate students. To inculcate in all students the ethical and social responsibilities of the computing enterprise.
