Computer Science

Computers and computational thinking are changing everything. At Northwestern University’s Department of Computer Science, we aim to lead that change.

Northwestern Computer Science is an ideal hub for highly interdisciplinary computer science education and research. With numerous collaborations across disciplines at Northwestern's top-ranked schools, students and faculty have the power to explode the possibilities of computer science. The department, which has radically expanded its faculty and moved to state-of-the-art facilities to support its vision, also fosters a culture of belonging, mentorship, and student support. This combination offers our students and researchers an experience like no other.
