What will I study?

Why choose computer science at Marian?

What You'll Actually Do

Develop mobile apps, create video games, build AI systems, design user interfaces, analyze social media trends, program robots, model financial markets, predict weather patterns, optimize business operations, and work on projects that get you noticed by employers.

You'll master programming languages like Python, Java, and C++ while learning mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and how to think like an entrepreneur and problem-solver.

Where You'll Go

Our graduates work at Google, Amazon, startups, hospitals, banks, gaming companies, insurance firms, research labs, CERN Super Collider, Apple, and government agencies. Others launch their own tech ventures or continue to top graduate programs in fields like data science, actuarial science, or pure mathematics.

The Marian Difference

Small classes mean professors know your name and your goals. You'll build real projects and solve actual problems from freshman year, not just study theory. Our Franciscan values ensure you'll learn to use technology and mathematical thinking to help people and communities thrive.

If you love creating, problem-solving, or building things that didn't exist before, this is your place.

Your move.
