Computer Science at Colby
Computer Science studies the design of computational processes,
computing systems, and virtual objects. We're trying to answer the
question, 'What can computers do?', which encompasses theory,
application, and hardware.
Due to its broad applicability, Computer Science impacts and
interacts with a wide variety of disciplines. Many recent advances in
both the natural and social sciences would not have been possible
without the exponential growth in computing power and the
corresponding design of advanced algorithms brought about by the work
of computer scientists.
The Colby Computer Science Department is committed to integrating
computer science and the liberal arts. Our goal is to provide Colby
students with a strong background in CS, while also teaching them how
to integrate their knowledge with other disciplines in order to
produce new and innovative discoveries. Whether you want to be a
major, minor, or just take a few courses, whatever your interests,
knowing more about computers and computation will give you the ability
to expand your possibilities.
If you are interested in computer science, drop by and talk
with the CS faculty or students on first floor of the Davis
Science Building.
Two Tenure Track Positions in Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science invites applications for two
tenure-track positions in Computer Science. See our
full ad for details and applications instructions.
Library Resources
The Colby Science Library maintains a set of online books through the
Colby Safari
Online resources. These include many language references and other
useful resources.
