Computer Science
Professor Susan McRoy is chair of the computer science faculty. She and her colleagues are engaged in leading-edge research in areas such as:
- Artificial intelligence
- Computational robotics
- Cryptography
- Extensible languages
- Intelligent dialog systems
- Object-oriented programming
Our computer science faculty are very involved with current students outside of the classroom through support of student organizations such as Data Science Club, the Computer Society, Society of Women Engineers and Women in Computing, as well as the Learning Circle Program supported by the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT).
The computer science department encourages and inspires future students through programs such as Girls Who Code for middle and high school girls and and EnQuest for high school girls.
NEW Diversity in Tech Education Scholarships
A select number of full-ride scholarships are available annually to incoming freshmen who graduate from a public or private high school in the city of Milwaukee.
The Anu and Satya Nadella Scholarship is exclusively for students pursuing computer science, computer engineering, data science or information technology majors.
