Computer Science
Scientist, inventor, coder
Computer science is the science behind data-driven discoveries in every field—think of the 3,300 billion lines of code that mapped our DNA. Before the biologists, engineers, product designers or stat geeks get to work, the folks who speak assembly language fluently are already up to their elbows. This cutting-edge field has a sense of entrepreneurialism and is always evolving as problems are solved using new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) or quantum and cloud computing.
Bring your analytical brain, love of puzzles and sense of adventure to this in-demand field. Build your foundation at CLC, then transfer to complete your bachelor’s.
