More than a numbers game, computer science is the art of making things to help others. It’s learning to communicate in a language that’s not your own—like Python, Java, C, C++, C#, JavaScript or PROLOG. It’s using your logical and creative bent to solve real-world problems. You may apply your skills to improve the child sponsorship process for a mission agency, enhance cybersecurity for online retailers, or develop an app.
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, the computer science major at Gordon will equip you to be a perpetual learner—always adapting and advancing. Because we view our ability to create elegant, innovative solutions as a reflection of God the creator, you’ll walk away with a firm grasp on the enduring principles that are foundational to computer science and the Christian faith. Within this close-knit department, you’ll benefit from collaboration with motivated peers and experienced faculty. Depending on your preferred career path and additional areas of study, you can choose to earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
A computer science degree can be used in nearly any industry. Whether you want to offer technical solutions for problems in business, healthcare, nonprofits, education, government or high-tech—or teach others the art of computer science—the possibilities are vast.

As a computer science student, you’ll participate in an intensive yearlong software development project in which you’ll work with a faculty member to develop a real solution to a real problem. You’ll be part of a close-knit group that that gathers regularly for events and shared meals, and interacts with alumni in the field. Many students also choose to participate in other opportunities:
Association for Computing Machinery
International Conference on Computing and Mission
