Computer Science
As the world becomes more reliant on data—mined from internet shopping, phone usage, and social media—there is a growing need for literacy in both computer programming and the mathematics involved in large data collections and rankings. The Computer Science Program at SMWC provides the necessary skills for both front and backend processes and rapid prototyping. This program also leverages courses in data analysis and ranking algorithms to prepare full-stack developers ready to take on this rapidly expanding data driven field.
