INVENTING THE FUTURE
Since 2016, the Department of Computer Science has organized a hackathon known as HackGSU.
There are over a dozen student organizations for computer science majors.
Computer Science offers a dual-degree program that allows students to get both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years.
Making a Difference
Our department is nationally known for our research and the success of our graduates. We are widely recognized for our emphasis on interdisciplinary research, which runs the gamut from astroinformatics to bioinformatics to cybersecurity.
Our student body is large and diverse and our graduates land jobs at top employers. Our program is one of the reasons top tech companies have launched major expansions in Atlanta. Microsoft has announced Atlanta will soon become one of its most important hubs. The company is building a campus in the city’s Westside neighborhood and Google is moving into a new Midtown office tower.

Why Study Computer Science?
Computer science is the gateway to the future. If you name any problem faced by humanity, it's likely computers will be the key to solving it. Computer scientists are trained to think logically and precisely and develop problem-solving skills, but creativity is a key element of computer science as well. Computer scientists increasingly work in interdisciplinary environments, so the field offers great opportunities for people with diverse interests and talents.
