The world runs on computers. At Chaminade you’ll get a grounding in the basics: traditional computer science theory and application. Cap off your degree with electives in Computer Game Design, Business, CADD (Computer Aided Design), 3D Modeling, Digital Video Production, or research and internships in Wireless Sensor Networks.
Complete your degree in one of Chaminade’s three computing programs, and then start your career in the ever-growing field of computing, or continue your education in engineering or graduate school.
Program |
Description |
A business computing program with substantial coursework in both business and computer science. This is the least technical program. |
|
A more technical program that focuses on computer science theory and application with supporting math courses. |
|
This 2+2 year program offered in partnership with Chaminade's sister school, the University of Dayton, includes calculus, physics, chemistry, and computing topics. Students spend the first two years at Chaminade and the second two years at the University of Dayton (or another university of choice.) This is the most academically rigorous of our computer science tracks. |
Our curriculum follows nationally recognized guidelines for computer science theory and core topics.
Chaminade’s CS, CIS, and CE & EE liberal arts programs span the range from theory through programming and application. Schools offering such breadth are sometimes criticized for failing to prepare graduates for specific jobs. However, while technical education programs may produce graduates with immediately relevant product knowledge and job-related skills, Chaminade’s liberal arts education offers a comprehensive theoretical foundation that permits graduates to more readily adapt long-term to new technologies, methods, applications and ideas.
At Chaminade classes are small. The student-to-faculty ratio is 17:1. In larger schools, students can "get lost" in the system, but at Chaminade, everybody knows everybody on campus. We take an interest in the progress of each student throughout the program. Students can get additional assistance quickly from faculty and tutors.
We assist with career choices, job search tactics, and research opportunities. Your major advisor will also advise on graduate schools and help with applications.
