Program description
Computer science is based on the practice of problem solving using technology. It is rooted in the natural sciences and mathematics and has applications in many areas of the social sciences (e.g., social network analysis, human-computer interaction, etc.), the arts (e.g., interaction design), and the humanities (for example, media studies).
Drew's computer science curriculum encourages critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity, as well as excellent communication skills, preparing students for academic and professional success. Drew University's computer science students learn by doing. Many courses include students and teachers working on real-world projects to understand key computer subjects. To date, these projects have resulted in many completed software applications installed and in use at our partner sites. Other opportunities for real-world learning include a variety of internships and collaborative research projects with our faculty and other students.

About the university
Drew University was founded in 1867 and celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2017. The university consists of three schools: the College of Liberal Arts, the Theological School and the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies. Drew is situated on a lovely, forested campus in Madison, New Jersey, a flourishing little town near New York City.
Drew's one-of-a-kind, cutting-edge path to an undergraduate degree, Launch platform, guarantees that every student graduates with a purpose, sought-after transferable skills, a mentor network, and an experience-based résumé. Drew's distinctive, immersive learning experiences include professionally-mentored scientific research in RISE and DSSI, volunteer and community-based opportunities through the Center for Civic Engagement, making industry connections over seven semesters in New York City, and exploring the world through eye-opening international study abroad trips.
Drew University's two graduate schools provide ten master's and four doctorate degrees. There are several certificate programs available. All programs are built on Drew's well-known dedication to faculty-student mentoring, chances for out-of-classroom experiential learning, and fostering a strong intellectual and global community, with many programs available in hybrid or totally online formats.
