Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Bachelor of Science
Randolph College

The study of computer science offers students the opportunity to develop problem solving facility and helps develop skills that have broad utility in theory and application and are amongst the most sought-after by employers. The abstraction of real-world problems, the construction of algorithms to display and transform data, and the theory of computation are all central concerns of computer science. The minor in computer science can be effectively combined with any major.
Whether studied with professional goals in mind, to supplement the study of any other field, or just for interest’s sake, computer science offers a powerful way to approach many challenging problems. When combined with selected courses in mathematics and physics, the minor will help prepare the student for graduate work in computer science and related fields

Considerations for Selecting Degree The Department of Mathematics wishes to share the beauty and usefulness of mathematics with as many undergraduates as possible, recognizing that each student has different reasons for studying mathematics. Some require mathematical training to support professional goals in related fields such as the sciences, the social sciences or engineering. Others choose to pursue mathematics for its own sake, either because of the many career opportunities stemming from a direct application of mathematics or because of the sheer beauty of the subject. And, of course, some degree of mathematical background is essential in order to understand the natural and human world and the many challenges facing humanity. Randolph College provides many ways to engage with mathematics. In addition to the rigorous training afforded by our regular course offerings, faculty frequently engage students in independent study based on student and faculty interests.
Considerations When Selecting Courses

  • Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year
  • Connect with an advisor at your community college and Randolph College within your first year via College Connect

    • Student Accident Insurance
      • All full-time Randolph College students are covered by an Individual Student Accident Policy. This policy assures that if a student is injured during the academic year, there is up to a $5,000 accidental medical benefit in place. The mandatory plan is a nominal charge of $61 per semester charged to the student's tuition account. Since unforeseen illnesses and accidents do happen, Randolph College is working to facilitate a student's academic success by not having to worry about unforeseen medical bills due to lack of coverage.
    • Student Medical Costs
      • The services of the College nurse practitioner, nurses, and counselors, and the use of the Health and Counseling Center are provided to residential students without additional cost. Non-residential, full-time students are charged a mandatory, nonrefundable fee of $50 per semester for Health Center and Counseling Center services. Patients are expected to pay for medications, laboratory work and, if additional medical attention is desired, for such fees as those of the hospitals, urgent care centers, surgeons, special nurses, and/or consulting physicians.
    Other Financial Aid to Pay for College:
    • You may be eligible for additional financial aid from Federal, State, and Local sources. Military education benefits are not considered in determining eligibility for federal financial aid. Everyone is therefore encouraged to apply for federal financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), because many will qualify for additional educational funds like Pell Grants, worth over $5,500/yr.
