There’s not a single part of our modern world untouched by computers.

A computer science degree from Muhlenberg will not only help open countless doors to technology-driven fields, it will ensure you have the problem-solving skills to address technological challenges we haven’t even begun to imagine.

Hands-on learning opportunities will hone these skills as you study cutting-edge topics including cybersecurity, AI, data mining and analytics. By pairing these in-depth subjects with the broader exposure of a liberal arts education, you will be entering the workforce with a more comprehensive understanding of the world — a confident problem-solver who’s able to navigate complex challenges.
