的计算 & 信息研究 (CIS) department offers a range of programs that reflect the ever-present and multi-faceted nature of technology in today’s world. While we offer courses that present the theory of computer science, we also teach how to apply it through data science, 可视化, 和设计.
CIS majors are able to choose an emphasis-计算机科学, 数据科学, 数字媒体, 交互设计, Web和移动技术-that aligns with their interests and goals. Learn more about these emphases and about specific courses in the W&J学院目录.
W&J’s CIS program prioritizes hands-on practice. Activities in the classroom and off-campus internships help students apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Internships have included cybersecurity research, data migration and data analysis, healthcare records implementation. These positions prepare them for careers in technology firms of all sizes, 私营企业, 非营利组织, as well as rigorous post-secondary programs.
Our students find success before they even leave campus. Jakerra Lance, 22岁 earned a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) with the University of Austin Texas through the National Science Foundation, used her skills as a CIS and history double major to work on an independent 可视化 project with the Cyberinfrastructure Research 4 Social Change 活网站.
CIS majors also apply their skills at local non-profit organizations with an unmet technology need during their capstone course, Service Learning Project Management. Our students have worked with WashPa Outdoors, Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern PA (DVSSP), 华盛顿县食品银行, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) on projects ranging from creating a local bird-finding app, promoting conservation education, analyzing information security management.
