Prospective Students



If you are viewing this page, you are probably considering the Computer Science degree program here at The University of Akron. We invite you to browse the other pages on our department's website to get an understanding of our goals, our program of study, and the people in our department: the students, the faculty, and the staff.

If you are interested in computing, but are unsure of the differences among possible programs of study and the associated careers, you may wish to browse the pages provided by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) that describe these different degree programs. If nothing else, this information may help you in formulating questions that you may wish to address to representatives of the different departments (at other universities, as well!) Click on Computing Careers to view these pages.

We appreciate the time you spent on these pages and hope that you will give serious consideration to majoring in Computer Science at The University of Akron.
