CSC Major: Networks Option

"I am taking this option because I can work anywhere from the ocean floor to outer space. Networks and communication are exciting, we are finding new applications everyday. It is impossible to imagine a world without communications. Our world is more connected everyday, career possibilities are endless.”

- Nathaniel Watt

CSC Major: Software Systems Option

"I took this option to open doors to as many programming opportunities as possible by gaining knowledge in all areas of software development. This combination of strong programming skills and an in-depth knowledge of a typical end-to-end product life cycle has made me much more attractive to employers." - Ryan McCullough

CSC Major: Theory Option

•Enjoy problem solving and abstract thinking?

•Theory students go on to careers in academia, research labs, and start-ups, wherever creative thinking is needed!
