Programs of Study

The rapid growth of computing technologies has increased the demand for properly educated specialists in computer science and computer information systems. Marietta College has programs in these areas which are designed to capitalize upon the unique features of a small college environment.

There are several reasons to consider Marietta College for an education in computer-related subjects:

  1. Marietta is a small, private college. Classes are small, and faculty members pride themselves on the individual attention they give students.
  2. The full-time computer science faculty at Marietta are highly qualified. Each member of the department has a graduate degree in a computer-related area.
  3. Computer science faculty are very involved in professional development and service to the computing community. Faculty and students often engage in consulting projects which serve area business and industry. In a departmental capstone course, students develop automated information systems for real users. Such projects keep faculty and students in touch with the newest hardware and software development environments.
  4. Faculty in departments other than computer science actively involve their students in computer related projects. These departments include accounting, art, biology, chemistry, economics, industrial engineering, environmental science, geology, management, mathematics, petroleum engineering, mass media, physics, political sceince and psychology
  5. Students may obtain a major or a minor in either computer science or computer information systems.
  6. The department also offers a certificate as a microcomputer systems specialist.
  7. Marietta College has well-equipped micro-computer-based laboratories, including a computerized classroom, which are networked to provide access to many modern software tools, other hardware platforms on campus and external resources available through the Internet.
