Why Play Video Games When You Could Create One?
Nearly 100 percent of Simpson graduates in computer science find jobs after graduation, in Iowa or elsewhere. We work hard to ensure students exceed employer expectations with course work, certificate programs, dual degree programs and development of tools like mobile software. Result: A resume that shouts, “Hire me!”
Many computer science students go onto graduate school or find a high tech job of the future. Whatever your next move, we are there to guide and support it. Simpson faculty members provide that all-important individual attention you won’t find at larger universities, and they maintain valuable connections with graduates so we can help you land a career-related internship. Simpson offers both a Computer Science and a Computer Information Systems major, depending on whether you prefer a scientific track or want to specialize in solving business problems with analysis and re-engineering.
