Academics

CS offers a no-prerequisites first course that satisfies the MAR graduation requirement, many options for continued work for those interested in combining a few CS courses with another major, and a substantial CS major that satisfies national expectations and fits St. Olaf's liberal-arts college experience.

The former CS Concentration remains available to students who entered St. Olaf before the Major was approved in Fall, 2002.
