Computer science is a critical tool for exploring a wide range of subjects, from astrophysics to cognitive science. In many scientific and liberal arts fields, cutting-edge research increasingly relies on computational methods. Brown's undergraduate program in Computer Science is designed to provide a broad foundation in both theoretical and practical computer science, alongside the opportunity for in-depth study in specialized areas. These areas encompass traditional computer science topics such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, databases, distributed systems, graphics, mobile computing, networks, operating systems, programming languages, robotics, and security, as well as emerging fields like game development and scientific visualization.
