Program description
After more than a quarter century of offering a CS Concentration, St. Olaf expanded to a Major in 2002. The CS program's mission calls for education grounded in the fundamental principles of Computer Science, connections with the liberal arts and with the outside world, and learning through hands-on experience with exemplary systems. The courses in the CS curriculum reflect five objectives derived from that mission. The program serves students whose interest in CS ranges from casual to major, and from computing-focused to interdisciplinary.
