Undergrad Students

Welcome CS majors!

There are several links off of this page that we think are useful to you in being a successful Computer Sciences major. Other links allow you to explore opportunities in student leadership, research, career preparation, deparmental employment, and graduate school preparation.

The Department of Computer Sciences will email weekly news and events to your Unix account, so it's important to check your account. The Weekly News emails will be archived if you happen to miss an announcement.

These resources are intended to supplement your contact with the academic advisors in the CS Undergraduate Advising Office, not surplant it. Please continue to visit the academic advisors in Taylor 2.126!
