Computer Science
Leading the Way in Computer Science Education
In 1961, the University of Dayton became one of the first schools in the country to develop an undergraduate program in Computer Science.
We offer a Master degree in Computer Science and two programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree: Computer Science and Computer Information Systems.
Our students are hired by companies such as Procter & Gamble, AT&T Communications, CompuServe, Dayton Power & Light, JPMorgan Chase, Teradata, NexSens Tech, General Electric, NASA Space Flight Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, LexisNexis, Reynolds and Reynolds, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and many others.
New Facilities Slated to Open in 2021
The Department of Computer Science will relocate during the 2020-21 academic year to a newly renovated facility in the former Music and Theatre Building. The 58,000-square-foot project will include new classroom, laboratory and office spaces, as well as an enclosed walkway to connect the facility to Kettering Labs. Levin Porter Architects of Miamisburg designed the facility; Sidney-based Ferguson Construction Co. will oversee construction. The new space is expected to be occupied in January 2021.
