You’ll find Hastings College Computer Science graduates all over the world. They design and write software, work as computer technicians, serve as business consultants, design websites for businesses, continue to graduate school for an advanced degree and even own their own software companies.

Real experience, real opportunity

With unlimited access to professors with doctorate degrees, you’ll have great flexibility in your program while building an adaptable computer science skill set designed for the future.

You’ll have opportunities to develop and design:

  • Software
  • Databases
  • Information systems
  • Operating systems
  • Games

You will learn about machine learning as well as consult with businesses looking for support. Our faculty offer experience and flexibility. Their real world experience in software design allows them to give you great classroom opportunities and lead directed studies in areas that interest you but fall outside the Hastings College course catalog.

Go further with a Hastings education

Thanks to our small class sizes (most have fewer than 20 students!), and a student-to-faculty ratio of 15:1, you’ll work closely with faculty and your advisor to complete your degree in four years. In fact, most students who graduate from Hastings do so in four years!

Our block-style semester structure means you’ll take just one or two classes at a time — which really lets you focus more intently on each class. It also lets faculty devote more time to every student because they’re only teaching one or two classes in a block!

Graduate with experience

At Hastings College, Computer Science majors serve one and sometimes two internships. Some expand their understanding of the world by studying abroad. Many take advantage of opportunities when professors offer courses in their own areas of interest, including computer hardware, artificial intelligence, game theory and web-based game design.

Along your path, you’ll appreciate the stepping stones of teaching, counseling, inspiring, supporting and guiding from our engaged faculty. It’s an experience that’s true to Hastings College, and you won’t find it anywhere else.

All the extras aren't extra

Performance icon

Maximize scholarships — Yes, you’ll get an academic scholarship. But you’ll also get an additional “plus one” scholarship from the group, team or area you’re part of. It’s a great way to pay for school, but also find “your people.”

Icon of a book

Books included — Afraid of a $400 textbook? No more! We’ve eliminated the high cost of text books by working with our bookstore to provide all required textbooks. This will save you $1,000 or more each year.

Icon of an iPad and Pencil

iPad  + Apple Pencil — We’ll set you up with an iPad and Apple Pencil — and help you learn how to incorporate these tools into your studies. From digital notes to pictures of lab setups, you’ll discover creative ways to use this technology!
