It encompasses organizing and analyzing data; creating intelligence, communications; controlling machinery; creating media; designing robots; creating knowledge tools; and doing science.
The Degree
As a computer science major, you will be enrolled in Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, which is considered one of the finest in the world for both education and research. Upon completion of our 4-year program, you will earn a bachelor of science degree in computer science.
The Objective
The computer science faculty, highly active in research, ensures that all students have the tools to remain current as technologies and systems change. Blending innovative research with exceptional educational programs, this school prepares undergraduates for careers and graduate study in emerging fields such as programming systems, computer architecture, human-computer interaction and robotics.
The Methodology
All computer science students at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar also have to complete a minor in another field. For students at Carnegie Mellon Qatar, the minor will be business.
Due to the tremendous amount of ongoing research within the School of Computer Science, students can earn independent study credit or obtain part-time summer jobs working on cutting-edge projects. This hands-on experience helps to shape computer science students into the high tech leaders of the future.
